Russian golfer hits a 17, but it was on a Par 5 so everything’s cool

The words 'Tin Cup' and 'doztuple bogey' spring to mind.

Okay, doztuple may not be the exact way of describing how a professional golfer managed to drop 12 shots in a European Tour event, in Austria, this morning. Perhaps the feat - when you next pull it off on your local course - could be called a 'Pavlov'? Russian golfer Andrey Pavlov had a good opening round at the Lyoness Open, on Thursday. The 28-year-old carded a -1 round of 71 to lie four shots off the lead. This morning, his round got off to the worst possible start in the history of worse possible starts. Pavlov took a wojous 17 on his opening hole. https://twitter.com/markcrane_punk/status/609259215501168640 https://twitter.com/EuropeanTour/status/609269221772668928
