PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Daniel Berger’s chances of winning the Players Championship effectively ended with a splash at the 16th hole of the final round, but that’s when things got interesting.
Berger’s second shot at the par-5 from 234 yards landed in the lake right of the flag, but where the ball crossed into the penalty area became a topic of great conversation.
“As soon as Daniel hit it in the air, he said, ‘Oh, water ball,’ and then I was watching the whole flight, and it was just short right of the green in the water on 16,” Viktor Hovland, who was playing in the group, said after the round.
