PGA Championship: One bunker dooms two players with eerily similar mistakes

You can't win a major with one shot, but you can certainly lose it.

Viktor Hovland and Corey Conners learned that the hard way this week at the PGA Championship.

Both were seeking their first major title and both saw those hopes go up in flames with one fateful miscue on the 16th hole at Oak Hill Country Club.

In fact, it occurred in a nearly identical spot in a fairway bunker.

It was stunning how identical the scenarios played out.

AMAZING - TWICE IN TWO DAYS ..

With Viktor Hovland burying his tee shot into the bank at the same bunker at 16 that Corey Conners did a day earlier.
