PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – If Will Wilcox lived a golfer’s dream on the island-green 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass during the second round of The Players Championship, Russell Knox endured the nightmare just one day later.
Knox had played 52 holes of solid golf on a difficult track, and he strode to the tee at 8 under for the week and still inside the top 10. After he three straight balls in the water, he left with a sextuple-bogey 9.
“I mean, I guess I don’t know what to say,” Knox said.
