CROMWELL, Conn. — J.T. Poston was 3 under heading to the 13th tee on Sunday at the 2026 Travelers Championship and then hit a great drive down the middle of the fairway.
That was the last good thing to happen to the winner of the 2026 Memorial Tournament on the lone par 5 on the back nine at TPC River Highlands. To follow along with this septuple bogey disaster, break your abacus.
From 229 yards out from the hole, Poston's second shot went into a greenside bunker right of the putting surface. his third shot failed to reach the green and left him 59 feet from the hole. From there, his fourth shot went into the pond on the opposite side of the green, necessitating a penalty drop.
Poston's sixth shot from the greenside rough went back into the water, necessitating a second penalty drop. hitting 8, his ball went into the water again, forcing him to drop for a third time.
Poston's 10th shot, from rough, went 13 feet past the hole. He missed that putt for 11 and then tapped-in the 8-inch putt that remained for 12, a septuple bogey.
