Less than 24 hours after Danny Lee had a six-putt from inside four feet on the 18th hole at Winged Foot, Rory Sabbatini has had a nightmare all of his own on the greens at Winged Foot.

Playing the par-4 15th in his final round of this year’s US Open, the South Africa-born Slovakian found himself facing a tricky putt for birdie.

What happened next almost defies explanation.

With his back to the pin, the 44-year-old took aim at a spot on the green which he must have felt would borrow back down towards the hole.

It didn’t quite work out like that.

OUCH!

Sabbatini subsequently signed for a double on his way to a miserable 11-over-par 81 and a 24-over total.

All the more incredible when you consider he was one-under after the first day.
