Dustin Johnson gets robbed after shot bounces off flagstick and goes directly into the water

The 17th green at Sawgrass has been quite the adventure during the Players Championship. A day after Byeong Hun An notched an octuple bogey on the hole, Dustin Johnson was hoping to avoid a similar situation.

Johnson succeeded in that regard. It did not take him 11 shots to make it past the 17th hole, but he did have one extremely unfortunate moment.

With Johnson 121 yards away, he hit what looked like a beautiful shot directly at the hole. Turns out, Johnson's accuracy was too good. The ball hit the flagstick and bounced all the way into the water.
