Watney's Expensive 11
/Sean Martin on a costly 11 (is there any other kind?) for Nick Watney during Sunday's final round of the Deutsche Bank Championship:
Watney started the week ranked third in the FedEx Cup, and began Monday’s final round just three shots back of Watson’s lead. He quickly dropped from contention, though, with an 11 at the par-5 second hole.
Watney went over the green with his second shot on the par-5 second hole at TPC Boston. He chipped over the green and into the hazard, then tried to play his fourth shot. But it struck a rock and stayed in the hazard. Watney was so frustrated he slammed his club to the ground.
He took a penalty drop in the fairway, hit onto the green and three-putted. Watney later was assessed an additional two-shot penalty because he slammed his club inside the hazard line — and his ball was still in the hazard.
It added up to an 80 for the 30-year-old, who fell from 12th to 61st. He now ranks seventh in the FedEx Cup.
