Overview
- Poston hit the sequence on the par‑5 13th at TPC River Highlands when a greenside bunker shot and multiple chips rolled into the pond, forcing repeated penalty drops and extra shots that led to a 12.
- The hole turned a strong round into a disaster, shifting Poston from deep under par to a 6‑over 76 that left him solo 69th in the field.
- Poston told reporters he had tried to leave a chip short to avoid the pond and said in hindsight he would have played to 12 feet and taken a seven.
- He later posted a lighthearted social message with a Tom Brady GIF referencing the number 12 as he tried to put the day behind him.
- The 12 is the highest single‑hole score on the PGA Tour since Matthieu Pavon’s octuple‑bogey 12 last year, underscoring how rare and game‑changing extreme single‑hole collapses are in professional golf.
