The world has not seen a lot of class acts happening around for quite some time, especially when it comes to the world of cars. However, there was one that ironically happened in a golf tournament where the champion golfer ended up winning a fully restored 1973 Dodge Challenger. Here’s when the story got super class act.

Kevin Na, PGA golfer superstar, had just won the Memorial Tournament where he took home a whopping $1.3 million (around RM5.4 million) from the Charles Schwab Challenge. Another part of winning the tournament was a restored 1973 Dodge Challenger and Na knew that his caddie, Kenny Harms, had been eyeing that car all weekend long.

Harms even went to the length of posting up of his social media stating that he’ll be taking the car home once Kevin Na wins the tournament. It’s all in good fun but once Na completed his last putt successfully (and everyone knew he would win if he succeeded), the first thing that Na shouted to his caddie was “That’s your car!”

As an added bonus, Lexus who happened to be the main sponsor of the event also gave Harms a free one-year lease on their latest Lexus UX F Sport. We’re guessing that Harms was more excited about the Challenger since he stated that his first car was a 1973 Chevrolet Camaro.
“I love you, man.”

The 1973 Dodge Challenger he won was equipped with a 6.4-litre V8 HEMI engine that produces 485hp. We here at Piston.My would like to congratulate Kevin Na for not only winning the tournament but also being one hell of a class act by gifting his caddie with this bad boy. Suddenly, we feel like picking up golf.
