The Liverpool Golf Course is definitely a pool of uncertainties. It can turn and twist someone’s fate in a fraction of a minute. And the latest victim of this gruesome course is none other than an Australian PGA Tour Pro. Despite having a good start, he faltered with his grip when came to scoring at the devil’s eye, the 17th penultimate hole. 

The topsy-turvy of events somewhat took a toll on the 27-year-old, changing his fate from 3-under to adding +3 with his score. Now, let’s see what fans have to say about this!

What do the fans have to say about the game’s sudden U-Turn? 

The Australian golfer, Lucas Herbert entered the Open Championship with the hope to win his first major and lift the Claret Jug. Previously, in the Open Championship, Herbert finished at T15 last year. This year also he had been stealing the show from the start and had three birdies on the front nine. However, the newly built 17th hole, also called the ‘little eye’ suddenly changed the course of the game and added a heavy +3 to his score. 

The footage of this shot by Herbert has been posted on Twitter with the caption “Career Over”. And to this, two fans commented “Poor fella”, and “Shockingly left from 126 to be fair!” showing their sympathy for Herbert.

Another reacted in a way as if scorning Herbert’s performance “Tennis your sport is it?”.

And alongside this, another two also commented “thought that would be what I would do lol”, and “Do you think Cowan is handing out short game lesson leaflets on the walk down to 18!!”

Thus, this 17th hole can be a career changer for some and similarly, this happened to the Aussie as well. The downward trajectory of his game was quite unexpected but this course proved that nothing is impossible in Liverpool Golf Course. 

Lucas Herbert: the victim of 17th Little eye 

The early leader of the Open Championship falls victim to the penultimate hole. Lucas took his initial shot on the par-3 hole, which made straight to the greens. But, when he took his second shot, the ball surpassed the hole and landed in the bunker. And in total Herbert made a triple bogey because, in his attempt to take the ball out from there, he took two more shots.
