Sergio Cards a 12 on the Par-4 4th at Doral
Here's the scorecard.
Remarkably, he played the other 17 holes in 4-under-par including an eagle on the first hole of the day, as well as a double bogey on 18 and a bogey on 11.
According to the Associated Press: He hit his tee shot into the water on the 438-yard hole, with a pond down the entire right side. He dropped into the rough, and from about 240 yards, tried three times to clear the water, failing with each shot.
Garcia finally went over the green with his ninth shot, chipped onto the green to 35 feet and two-putted for a 12.
Garcia declined comment after his round.
"Not today, guys," he said. "I don't have the energy."
