94' PUTT

For over 10 years, as part of their sponsorship agreement with Auburn Sports Properties, Lynch Toyota of Auburn has sponsored the 94-foot “Putt for a Car” Promotion at Auburn Home Men’s Basketball Games. On February 11th, for the first time since 2014, on the same day that ESPN’s College Gameday was in town for a pivotal Iron Bowl match-up with #2 Alabama…

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER! 

Auburn Junior Craig Noyes, with the signature red State Farm basketball themed headband crowning his head from that morning festivities, stepped up and before the PA announcer even finished his intro sent his putt from one endline to the other on a line that even Tiger Woods would be impressed by.

Watching the Putt zoom through the target sent the crowd into a frenzy and the internet ablaze. Through the weekend, the video was shared across social media millions of times, generating Auburn and Lynch Toyota of Auburn attention, fame and eyeballs from all sorts of media outlets.  

“Once I hit it, I completely zoned out,” Noyes later said. “It wasn’t until the announcer put a hand on my shoulder and said I’d won a car that I believed it.”
