It's known as one of the toughest tee shots in professional golf.
So tough, in fact, that Aaron Wise needed to hit four of them off the 18th tee Thursday at TPC Sawgrass' Players Stadium Course. Wise's three water balls and subsequent sextuple bogey derailed his Players Championship.
Wise was coming off a bogey at the intimidating par-3 17th hole, but at 2 over, it's not like he was already looking at an early exit. That's when he hit three nearly identical tee balls – tight draws that started right on the bulkheads before drifting just off the left side of the fairway and splashing into the lake.
