An Auburn student nailed a 94-foot full length of the court putt to win a free Toyota at the local dealership.

Connor Boyle nailed the tremendous putt, which spanned from one baseline all the way to the other end of the court, during the timeout promotion that Auburn has been running all season.

He is the first one to accomplish the feat this season. WATCH:

When the putt landed in the small opening of the cutout 94-feet away, Boyle celebrated by running around the floor with his hands in the air as the crowd at Neville Arena went absolutely nuts.

It was the first time since 2014 that a student has actually made the putt.

Boyle’s triumphant putt helped electrify the crowd and propel the Tigers to a victory, with Auburn defeating Georgia 92-78 to close out the final game of the regular season.
