Golf Is Cruel: Fans React as Tour Pro Disastrously Four Putts While Leading PGA Tour Event

Golf can sometimes be agonizing for the professionals competing on the PGA Tour, especially putting. It makes the sport even more challenging and occasionally cruel for the players. The challenging aspect of golf was on display in the fourth round of last week’s Tour event, Charles Schwab Challenge, at the challenging Colonial Country Club.

Harold Varner III was cruising nicely with a share of the lead during the final round on Sunday. The American professional had the share of the lead until the end of the 11th hole with Scottie Scheffler and his playing partner Scott Stallings.

But then the par 4, 12th hole started his treacherous stretch. Moreover, Varner hit a good drive in the middle of the fairway on the 12th hole. He hit a good wedge shot, but it ended up in the greenside bunker. 

The 31-year-old professional hit a good bunker shot and had 19 feet left for his par. However, he hit his first putt short, then the next one went racing by the cup, again he hit it past the cup. As a result, Harold finally made a triple-bogey on the hole and fell off the lead. His four-putt on the hole proved that golf could sometimes be cruel to professionals.

However, this did not end his misery; he made a double bogey on the 13th hole and another triple bogey on par 4, the 14th hole. The PGA Tour professional ended the Charles Schwab Challenge with an overall score of even-par and finished in tied 27th position on the leaderboard after the final round ended at the demanding golf course.

The majority of the reactions blamed Scott, Harlod’s playing partner, for the bad putting as he took time to get relief from the TV tower when he hit his second shot over the green on the 12th hole and found his four-putt relatable. At the same time, other fans supported the American player and reacted by saying that he would break through on the Tour.

Who won last week’s PGA Tour event?

Sam Burns picked up his second win of the 2022 season yesterday. The Tour pro ended the regulation play with an overall score of nine-under-par after carding a final round of five-under-par, 65. As a result, Bruns forced a two-man playoff between himself and the World Number One, Scottie Scheffler. In the first playoff hole, the 18th hole, Scheffler made a par. At the same time, Sam made a birdie to win the hole, and in the end, he won the event.
