While Brendan Steele was granted free relief from the grandstands of the 72nd hole at the Sony Open on Sunday, Ryan Palmer wasn't so lucky in his encounter with a temporary immovable obstruction.
Playing in the second-to-last group and trailing by just one, Palmer pulled 3-wood from the fairway bunker. His ball sailed to the right and ricocheted off the top of a very large, very tall television screen, never to be seen again.
After his three minutes of search time elapsed, Palmer took a long cart ride back to the fairway bunker, where we played his fourth shot to short of the green.
