LIV Golf's second Adelaide event was a smash hit for the tour by most accounts with frenzied crowds and a dramatic finish won by the Aussie-represented Ripper GC. But not everyone left Down Under in high spirits.
Take Kevin Na. His Iron Heads had a chance to win their first team title entering the third and final round just one shot off the lead. But a disappointing day dropped them to sixth place. And a disastrous hole by Na didn't help.
Na began on No. 10 with a bogey, but then played excellent golf after that, racking up six birdies and no bogeys over his next 16 holes. In fact, he'd made four birdies in a row when he reached the par-5 ninth, his final hole of the day. Then things really came undone.
Na found himself in a particularly sandy lie in the woods after an errant. And after failing to get his ball back to the fairway on his first attempt, his second hits a tree branch and stays in trouble. Let's just say he wasn't pleased with the situation. Have a look and listen:
Tough spot. Literally. "Seriously, this is fu--ing bulls--t," you can hear Na say in the video before his caddie tells him to take a "deep breath." After the first failed attempt, Na slaps his bag before switching clubs. Not that it helped.
You can hear one fan mutter "One of us!" before Na's failed second attempt. We're guessing that didn't help either. Na wound up making double bogey (Not that bad all things considered!) and shooting 69 to finish T-34 in the invividual competition won by Brendan Steele.
On the bright side for Kevin, this doesn't touch Na's infamous blow-up hole at the 2011 Valero Texas Open. That year he made a 16—also on a ninth hole—at TPC San Antonio. OK, so that probably won't help Na deal with this one, either.
