For recreational golfers, the maddening feeling of playing solidly throughout a round except for one disastrous hole is hardly unfamiliar territory.
However, it’s not often PGA Tour players experience the kind of calamitous hole Luke List endured during the third round of the World Wide Technology Championship.

The two-time PGA Tour winner was one of 75 players to make the cut at the El Cardonal at Diamante tournament in Mexico, and he began the third round on a highly respectable seven under, 10 behind overnight leader Matti Schmid.
While that gave him work to do to force his way into serious contention, he began steadily enough, with three successive partners after teeing off at the 10th.
There were few warning signs of what was to come for List, even with successive bogeys at the 13th and 14th (his fourth and fifth of the day) to leave him two over for the round, before it all unravelled spectacularly at the par 4 15th.

While there’s a good chance List’s disaster at the 15th left him wishing the ground would swallow him up, to his credit, he didn’t let it damage his scorecard further in the holes that immediately followed.
