PGA pro Lee Hodges' putt out of bunker goes predictably awry

Like the rest of the golfing world, PGA golfers get into jams on the course.

It's how they get out with creative, sometimes spectacular solutions that separate them from mere golf mortals. They're pros after all.

Then there's this from 26-year-old pro Lee Hodges.

Hodges found himself on Sunday in a sizable greenside bunker on No. 15 at the Honda classic at PGA National in South Florida. Instead of lofting his errant ball onto the Par-3 green with a wedge, he pulled out his putter — an approach that can be charitably described as unorthodox.
