Every golfer has been to where Thomas Detrie was on Friday afternoon at PGA National at the Cognizant Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Detrie was finishing the par-4 sixth and was looking for a decent birdie. The shot was cut short. When he made the par putt, he hit it a little to the left. Frustration got the better of him, and his next ball hit the side of the cup and bounced back. It took Detrie six strokes to complete the hole.
