Par-5 12th at Trump National Doral proves tough challenge for Rose, Scott and Johnson

DORAL, Fla. — For proof that these guys are good, only they sometimes don’t quite look it, we offer the par-5 12th hole in Thursday’s first round of the WGC Cadillac Championship.

There was hoopla about Nos. 1-2-3 in the world ranking (Jordan Spieth, Jason Day, Rory McIlroy), but right behind them, Nos. 7-8-9 (Justin Rose, Dustin Johnson, Adam Scott) had great potential, too.

For two holes, it was on track, too — each player was 1 under and headed to a par 5. Birdie time, right?

Wrong. In fact, the group played it in 2 over — and in a most ugly way, too.
