PGA Tour member Luke List endured a nightmarish moment during the third round of the World Wide Technology Championship. 

List began the day a respectable 10 strokes adrift of 36-hole leader Matti Schmid in the FedEx Cup Fall event. 

Yet it did not take too long for the 40-year-old to tumble right down to the bottom of the leaderboard and be playing for pride only.  

List somehow managed to make an octuple-bogey 12 (!) at the par-four 15th at the Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal at Diamante Cabo San Lucas. 

Extraordinarily, it took two-time PGA Tour winner 10 strokes to reach the green.

He began his round on the back nine and carded three pars in a row before dropping two shots on the 13th and 14th. 

Unfortunately there is no shot tracking at this PGA Tour event and, at the time of publication, is no video footage of List’s shocker. 

The PGA Tour’s play-by-play function on their official website truly allows our imagination to run wild though:

 

Shot 12

From green, in the hole

 

Just exceptional.

 

CBS Sports contributor and golf stats man Rick Gehman noted it was the highest number of shots a player has taken to get the ball in the hole from the fairway going back seven years. 

 

List can rest safe in the knowledge that is not the highest score recorded on a single hole in an official PGA Tour event. 

 

Dale Douglas took 19 strokes during the 1963 Bing Crosby National Pro-Am at Pebble Beach.

Undoubtedly, the most memorable big score was John Daly’s 18 during the 1998 Bay Hill Invitational. 

 

Sadly for List, he will be playing for pride on Sunday. 

 

After making the 12, he dropped three more shots to sign for a 13-over 85.
