[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○..."5 over par 8 strokes, a quintuple bogey, a term unfamiliar to many."


This score came from a '2-person team battle.' Kevin Kisner and Scott Brown (both from the USA) suffered humiliation on the 9th hole (par 3, 176 yards) of the final day at the Zurich Classic (total prize money $8.3 million) held on the 25th (Korean time) at Avondale Louisiana Golf Club (par 72, 7,425 yards) in Louisiana, USA. Brown's tee shot landed in the water, and after a one-stroke penalty, Kisner took his third shot from the 31-yard drop zone but again ended up in the pond.



Brown's fifth shot was also lost in the water, and Kisner finally succeeded with a '7-on.' The only consolation was Brown sinking a 3-meter putt. Six over par is called a sextuple bogey. This tournament attracted more attention because it is a team play event. The 1st and 3rd rounds were four-ball (each player plays their own ball and the better score counts), and the 2nd and 4th rounds were foursomes (two players alternate shots with one ball).
