It might be the most common number in New England, but you won’t find many 12’s around TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.
Especially dozens that look like J.T. Poston’s.
The Travelers Championship is traditionally a birdie fest, but Poston was enjoying none of that Sunday at the par-5 13th hole. Poston recorded a septuple-bogey 12 despite being just 80 feet from the hole after his first two strokes.
What the heck happened from there?
Poston’s third shot, nestled against the lip of the greenside bunker, traveled just 22 feet from the sand to the fairway cut short of the green; Poston told Golfweek he intentionally left that shot short of the putting surface, hoping to avoid the pond that guards the opposite side of the green. Of course, he ended up wet anyway, sending his chip through the green and into the water.
