A PGA Tour golfer could only laugh at himself after hitting a wild shank on 17th hole

Sunday’s final round of The Players Championship has been a wild one already with the final group of Lee Westwood and Bryson DeChambeau hitting some truly awful shots on the front nine.

But there was also a really bad shot by a guy who wasn’t in contention and it came at the legendary par-3 17th island hole.

Brendon Todd stepped up to the tee and hit a wild shank that went so far right it almost landed on the little island that has a tree and flowers on it. We never see balls go near that island.

Well, until today.

Todd could only drop his club and laugh at himself as the ball sailed away.

So relatable.

Todd ended up with a triple bogey on the hole and finished 3 under for the tournament.
