First, on the par-5 9th, he wasted two opportunities to make birdies. But that was not the end of his issue. His second shot on the par-5 18th forced him to make a bogey since it landed on the lip of the fairway bunker and stayed there. He missed the shot on the green after finally emerging from the bunker.
