40 feet of tree trouble: Canadian mid-am loses after hitting into, climbing pine

If you thought Tony Finau’s victory – and Scott Piercy’s brutal collapse – Sunday at the 3M Open was wild, you didn’t see last week’s final hole of the Alberta Men’s Mid-Amateur.

Ryan Werre appeared on his way to the win Thursday at Highwood Golf and Country Club in High River, Alberta, when he stepped on the tee box at the par-4 finishing hole leading by two shots.

However, he ran into some tree trouble – 40 feet of it to be exact.

After missing the fairway right and finding the edge of a bare patch of rough, Werre had his path to the green obstructed by some trees.
