Watch this unlucky bounce rob Jim Furyk of a near hole-in-one

Jim Furyk and his legendary caddie, Fluff, had a nice long talk about what club to hit at the famous par-3 12th at Augusta. The club and yardage they settled on were perfect, but because this is golf and an extremely silly pursuit, it was too perfect. Furyk’s ball was dialed-in to the cup and looked to be heading for a slam-dunk hole-in-one. Unfortunately, the flagstick got in the way of the on-the-fly ace and promptly sent the ball caroming towards the water.

I guess Furyk can take solace in the fact that the ball did find part of the bank that was completely shaved down, or else it definitely would have dribbled into Rae’s Creek. He got up-and-down for a par that, on the scorecard, doesn’t tell the whole story. Tiger Woods can commiserate with him later.
