Sadly for the PGA Tour , though, much of the talk on day three was concerning a big controversy, rather than the spectacular standard of golf. Angry Golf fans react after controversy strikes at the Houston Open Karl Vilips made a triple bogey seven on the par-four fourth hole on at Memorial Park on Saturday. The crazy thing is that he had a 55-foot putt for birdie before he ended up making a seven!
Vilips putted off the green before chipping back over the other side of the putting surface. He then didn’t even make the green with his fifth shot before hitting his sixth to 20 feet from the pin and holing his putt for a triple bogey. However, golf fans were not amused by the tricky pin location which caused Vilips all sorts of problems.
