The Players Championship began this morning at TPC Sawgrass and while we all know the par-3 17th hole can lead to a lot of water balls, the 18th hole, with water all up the left, can lead to disaster, too.
Adam Scott was reminded of that Thursday morning when he pumped not one, but two tee shots into the drink on what was his ninth hole of the day.
Scott, who has won here before and has had a lot of other good finishes in this tournament, was 1-under when he teed up his first shot on the par-4 18th. He later walked off the green +3 on the day after tapping in for a quadruple bogey 8. All of us amateurs are way to familiar with the snowman on a scorecard.
Here’s how it went. I love the announcer saying before the second one that “You can guarantee this is going to be right.” It didn’t go right. It went well left, again.
The par-4 18th can be nasty.

Ugh.
Twitter had reactions.
