ATZENBRUGG, Austria -- Russian golfer Andrey Pavlov needed 17 strokes on a single hole in excellent weather conditions at the Lyoness Open on Friday, tying for the second worse score on the European Tour.
On the par-5 first, Pavlov found the water on six attempts. The Diamond Country Club course is known for its many water hazards.
Chris Gane also scored a 17 at Gleneagles 12 years ago, still three strokes less than Philippe Porquier's record of 20 at the French Open in 1978.
