This is one of the all-time bad breaks for Thorbjorn Olesen. The Dane didn’t just hit the flagstick at the par-3 8th, which happens often and is always unlucky, but he slammed it right into the cup. The ball ricocheted off the flagstick, popped out and rocketed off the green.
Thorbjorn Olesen unlucky shot lands in hole, hits pin, finishes off green
This was not the top of the flagstick, or ball landing on the green and then hitting the pin off the bounce. Olesen literally put it in the hole on the fly, the perfect number. And all he got out of it was a ball 72 feet away off the front edge of the green.
He’d go on to make a bogey. Golf ain’t fair.
