Harold Varner III was tied for the lead during Sunday’s final round of the Genesis Open in Los Angeles when he hit one of the worst drives on the iconic 10th hole that you’ll ever see a professional golfer hit, especially one who was in FIRST PLACE.
Well, actually, nobody even got to see that tee shot because CBS – whose golf broadcasts continue to be a dreadful experience for golf fans who choose to sit through them – didn’t show it.
Varner, who’s playing the second-to-last group, topped a 3-wood on the par-4 10th hole. When coverage went to his second shot they asked if he had laid up but the on-course reporter said no, that he had topped it and now faced a long shot into the hole.
Varner would double-bogey the hole and fall off the lead.
This was was bad the tee shot was:
Fans were rightly furious that CBS wouldn’t show such a bad shot that was also such a pivotal shot in a tournament. It’s a huge part of the storyline of a tournament and there’s no video of it? On one of the most iconic holes in all of golf and you can’t show it?
They didn’t even show a replay of it!
Twitter blasted CBS:
