Pro sinks nearly 50 spots at U.S. Open after ‘one of worst breaks you’re going to see’
Golf pro Rickie Fowler plummeted nearly 50 spots on the leaderboard at the 2022 U.S. Open after suffering “one of the worst breaks you’re going to see” on the 5th hole.
Fowler’s tee shot landed in a fairway bunker, and his second shot found the rough. From there, he hit a provisional ball, which landed on the green.
As Fowler was walking to play his provisional, he realized his original ball had actually landed in the bunker. He returned to the bunker and played his original ball, which he then hit into the water.
Fowler ended up making a triple-bogey 7 on the hole, and he went on to shoot a 78 in the second round. He fell from a tie for 18th after the first round to a tie for 66th after the second round.
