SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Sam Ryder walked into the buzzing 16th hole knowing what to expect. Boos for even a halfway decent shot, cheers for anything close to the pin, random people screaming his name fueled by liquid courage.
Little did he know that he would become another tale in the legend of the notorious WM Open stadium hole, even as his tee shot Saturday went skyward on its way to history.
The ball landed to the right of the hole. It rolled backward and dropped in for the 10th ace in the history of the WM Open at TPC Scottsdale.
