Video: J.B. Holmes hits embarrassing 7-yard shot at WGC-Bridgestone

To say that the play at the U.S. Open a few weeks ago was pretty awful would be an understatement. However, J.B. Holmes found out just how tough the rough is at Firestone Country Club during the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio on Saturday.

He was lining up a his third shot out of the rough at the par five second hole with an 8 iron. However, it didn’t go too well for him as he fully swung his club back only to see the ball trickle forward by about seven yards, still in the rough.

Now, I am no spring chicken when it comes to the golf course, but I would say that is not how you want your shot to ever go. This probably explains why J.B. Holmes was +6 at the time and was +7 at the end of Saturday’s third round.
