Luke Donald did something he's never done before - and it led to triple bogey
Luke Donald, a professional for more than two decades, believes he may have done something for the first time on Friday.
And it wasn’t a good thing.
“I hit the wrong ball on [No.] 16. Which was, yeah, frustrating. I hit a poor tee shot left in the rough. The spotter kind of went straight to the ball and I just assumed it was mine and mine was a few feet left of it,” Donald said.
“Yeah, it was a costly 7.”
Despite the two-stroke penalty for hitting the wrong ball, and the subsequent triple bogey on his seventh hole of the day, as well a bogey-bogey finish, Donald shot 4-under 68 to move into contention at the DS Automobiles Italian Open.
