Jonas Blixt yanked his drive at the TPC Sawgrass’ 18th hole so badly that NBC’s Johnny Miller said it “set a new record for left.” It started over the water and hooked hard and plunged into the middle of the drink.

It was such a horrible shot that Blixt decided he’d had just about enough of the club and launched it into that famous lake. Those are two generous donations.

That may be the 18th tee but ... uh ... Blixt started on the 10th, so he’s still got nine more holes to go without that club. That could be a problem!
