Couples then proceeded to head to the par-3 16th hole where he hit his iron shot short and, yes, in the water. He double bogeyed that hole, as well as the par-4 17th, to finish at six-over par.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll the gas was gone. It was kind of a sour game, but it was fun,\u201d Couples said of playing alongside long-hitting Min Woo Lee and Fifa Laopakdee, the first Thai amateur to play at the Masters. \u201cTomorrow I just have to go do the same thing but maybe not finish 10-over par on two holes or whatever the hell I did<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Three-hole nightmare stretch<\/p>\n It was eight over through three holes, but who\u2019s counting?<\/p>\n Back to the golfing nightmare fuel.<\/p>\n \u201cI actually had a perfect yardage (at the 15th hole) and I had seen a couple other guys, not in my group, but skip it over that green. I just felt like, you know, it was a shot I can handle,\u201d Couples said. \u201cI just kind of skinned it off the downhill lie and didn\u2019t carry far enough. Then I did the same thing. Then on 16 I tried to regroup and just hit it down in the flat where the ball is going to roll anyway and I pulled it and hit in the bank and went in the water.\u201d<\/p>\n
