HUMBLE, Texas – Brendon Todd had played 17 holes of bogey-free, 5-under golf Friday at the Houston Open when he hit his tee shot into the left greenside bunker at the Golf Club of Houston’s par-3 ninth hole. In an unfortunate break, Todd’s ball settled near the lip, forcing Todd to hit his next shot from an awkward lie.
“I was in a really tough spot with one foot out of the bunker there on the first [bunker] shot,” Todd said. “Thought I picked the right club to run it down there and the club just went right under the ball.
