Miguel Angel Jimenez's Off the Wall Shot at the Road Hole

by Ryan Ballengee on Jul 17, 2010 3:34 PM EDT in Pro Golf

Miguel Angel Jimenez hit an absolutely awful approach (his third shot) to the Road Hole on Saturday evening. He left himself behind the hole, past the road that is the namesake of the 17th, and next to the boundary wall. Left with basically no other option, The Mechanic did what any of us wouldn't dare do: ricochet the ball off the wall and onto the green.

And then he made the long putt for par!

(Or did you want this post to be a cliffhanger, Ryan?)

I think he missed the long putt, and made a short one for Double.......but you were close....:)

Really? Whoops. The PGATour.com scorecard says he parred the hole.

Nope - he didn't

The PGATour.com leaderboard was mightily slow today. Watching on TV & following PGA Tour on-line showed more errors than I’ve seen before. e.g. Stenson, Casey, etc. Took them until the third round was underway for example to correct their score for Stewart Cink’s first round score.

Seen that done several times over the years

Think I might even try it myself for a 10!

Norman did it years ago

great play today from many

Several Eagles and many looong birdie putts made. The weather was the same for all today so it should be interesting to see what “back peddle central” has to say later on. Looking forward to tomorrow. Stenson looks good as does Casey but the lead may be a bit much for either.
