A PGA Tour player shanked a shot on the 17th hole at the Players and fans had so many jokes

Golf is a lot of fun. It’s also really hard and dumb. If you’ve ever played it before then you know exactly what I’m talking about – at one moment you can feel like you have it all figured out and the next moment you stink and have thoughts about giving up the game.

Well, it’s hard for professionals, too!

On Sunday evening at TPC Sawgrass we saw Shane Lowry get a hole-in-one on the legendary 17th hole. See, golf is easy!

Then just a few minutes after that we saw Patton Kizzire step up on the same hole and hit an absolute shank/hozzle rocket that we normally hit. 

Check this out:

Yikes!

He ended up getting a double bogey 5 on the hole, which is a lot better than what I would have done after hitting that tee shot.

Twitter had lots of jokes.
