T-7. Ron Letellier
Tournament: 1964 Greater New Orleans Open, Lakewood CC.
Hole: 14.
Before the tournament moved and the naming rights changed (now the Zurich Classic of New Orleans), the site of the Greater New Orleans Open was at Lakewood CC – and apparently, the course didn’t need any wildlife to be considered dangerous. It only took three years into the course’s existence for it to become forever high-scoring famous. Ron Letellier, whose career was cut short by cancer, teed it up on the lengthy par-4 16th back in 1964, and that was the end of things going well.
Score: 14.
