How to use lob in a sentence?

   I'm living the dream, it's a very special moment. Rafa hit an unbelievable lob when we were down in the break 6-4. We are really happy and have a great opportunity to hold this trophy tomorrow.

2. Xander Schauffele:

   My mind was telling me to hit a good drive and then use your sand wedge or lob wedge in there and make birdie, to sit there and watch what happened was a bit of a shock, obviously. I really had to try and focus on the task at hand.
