The first round of The Players Championship has been a very wet one already as we’ve seen a ton of tee shots on the legendary par-3 17th hole land in the water.
We told you earlier about Kevn Na’s disaster of a time on that hole in which he chipped in for an 8 after putting three shots in the water. He later withdrew from the tournament with a back injury.
Well, a little later in the day Byeong Hun An walked over to the 17 tee and made Na’s 8 look like nothing. An put four balls in the water and ended up with an 11, which is the second-highest score to ever be recorded on the island hole (during the Players Championship, I’m sure amateurs who have played the course have fared worse).
An had the perfect tweet after his round, though, as he was able to make fun of himself a bit:

That is too funny. Good for An, who added this:
We all have bad days in our life and we just have to learn to move on…..
But it was a horrendous f—-ing tee shot on 17th…

This shot-by-shot look is wild:
An then doubled the 18th hole, meaning he needed 17 strokes to play 17 and 18. He finished his round at 11 over.
