His second shot from the sting of the penalty space struck a pink stake and ricocheted into the lake. A annoyed Buckley then picked up the stake and spiked it on the bottom.
“Actually didn’t have a shot, most likely wanted to chip it out, however on the time I simply wished to try to hit a shot,” Buckley stated. “Mockingly, my caddie requested me if that pink stake was in the best way, and I stated there’s no probability it’s in the best way. It was a superb 10 toes left of my ball, and I believe it type of got here out low and left and hit the stake. And that time, I used to be like, all proper, I believe I’m able to guide a flight out of right here.”
After carding his fourth double of the day, Buckley was 8 over stepping on the seventeenth tee field. And rubbing salt within the wound, he needed to wait about 20 minutes to hit. Lastly, Buckley took a swing with 8-iron and obtained each pictures proper again with an ace from 178 yards.
Double bogey, hole-in-one.
How about that stretch?
“It gave me a bit of little bit of one thing to smile at on the best way residence,” stated Buckley, who birdied his last gap to shoot 5-over 76 and miss the lower by seven pictures. “Total it was a horrible day, however not less than I made a ‘1′ to interrupt 80 and obtained a bit of reminiscence to look again on.”
