There is never a good time to card a ’10,’ but one PGA Tour Canada pro may have used his double-digit score to turn around his season.
Austen Christiansen, a 26-year-old Houston native, was six holes into his second round on Friday at the ATB Classic when he recorded a quintuple-bogey 10 on the par-5 sixth hole at Northern Bear in Strathcona County, Alberta. The massive blunder dropped him from 3 under – a day earlier he had posted a wild 2-under 70 that included an eagle and two doubles – to 2 over, well below the projected cut line.
