[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…‘63 over par 135 strokes’.

A ‘disaster’ occurred at the PGA Tour Monday qualifier. ‘Monday Q Info,’ which mainly reports on Monday qualifiers, reported on the 18th (Korean time) that “a player recorded 63 over par 135 strokes at the PGA Tour Valero Texas Open Monday qualifier regional selection held at Kingwood Golf Club (par 72).” The player had no birdies, 2 pars, 1 bogey, 4 double bogeys, 3 triple bogeys, 4 quadruple bogeys, 1 sextuple bogey, 2 septuple bogeys, and 1 nonuple bogey.

A quadruple bogey means 4 strokes over par, a sextuple bogey 6 strokes over, a septuple bogey 7 strokes over, and a nonuple bogey 9 strokes over par. The nonuple bogey occurred on the 12th hole (par 4), where the player scored 13 strokes. The winner’s score was 8 under par. The identity of this player has not been revealed, but since amateurs do not participate in Monday qualifiers, it is presumed to be a professional player. It seems likely that after submitting an entry, the player suffered some accident and, despite injury, forced participation.

There was also a worst score recorded at the 1974 PGA Tour Tallahassee Open. Mike Reeser (USA) qualified for the main event but went horseback riding, fell off, and suffered broken ribs, damaged knee ligaments, and a dislocated left shoulder. Despite these major setbacks, he played in the 3rd round and scored ‘51 over par 123 strokes.’ Reeser also played the 4th round, shooting 114 strokes. He went out with only a 5-iron and played using only his right arm.
