Hadley sticks it to Twitter trolls with huge eagle on TPC Scottsdale's 17th
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Chesson Hadley couldn’t wait to get on Twitter after his second round Friday at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
A day earlier, Hadley was 3 under through 16 holes before rolling his 105-foot eagle putt into the water at TPC Scottsdale’s par-4 17th hole. The resulting double bogey derailed his round and left him with an even-par 71.
The aftermath on social media was even worse.
“That could’ve been the lowlight of my golf career,” Hadley said. “I played great yesterday and to finish the way I finished was obviously really disappointing. I’m really proud of the way I hung in there and what I did today.”
