LOS ANGELES – Standing in the 15th fairway, Joel Dahmen was about to settle into his shot when a ball skittered past.
It was the tee shot of the Genesis Invitational leader, Adam Scott.
“We were in plain sight,” Dahmen said after the round. “If you get around the (fairway) bunker you can’t see anything. But sometimes when you’re leading, the adrenaline is going and you just the ball. I don’t know. I wasn’t bothered by it.”
Clearly not. Dahmen went on to birdie the hole, then tacked on another on 16 to finish in a tie for fifth, three shots back of Scott.
