So that saw him take three off the tee.
He then hit his third stroke into a fairway bunker.
The poor fellow needed four attempts to escape the sand, when he eventually found the fairway.
But he came up short and left on the approach to the green to find the rough and then chipped on before tapping in a simple putt.

So Norris ended up taking TEN strokes on the par 4.
He was +1 for the tournament before starting the hole.
He walked off the green at +7 and in serious danger of missing the cut.
But somehow he did recover his composure and went on to birdie the next hole.

The freak accident occurred on Saturday night. Dog, 78, is not directly related to Zecca or his tragic teenage son - since he was born during Francie's previous marriage. Police confirmed that they responded to a call about a shooting at around 8pm local time. READ MORE CELEBRITY NEWS DEATH RIDDLE Prime suspect in brutal cold case killing mysteriously found dead on hols No arrests have been made yet in what they described as an "isolated incident". An investigation into the circumstances of the horrific accident is still ongoing. A spokesperson for Dog and Francie told TMZ: "We are grieving as a family over this incomprehensible tragic accident and would ask for continued prayers as we grieve the loss of our beloved grandson, Anthony." Dog and his wife married in 2021 after each of their partners passed away. They said they bonded over their shared grief during their relationship. Zecca reportedly works with Dog on his bounty hunting team alongside Dog's daughter, Lyssa. Star Trek and Mission Impossible star who was married to late screen icon dies aged 97 Dog's step-son was also a gun enthusiast - and has previously shared photos of him "getting some range tine in" with his son and their rifle back in 2021. Reality personality Dog is a renowned bounty hunter and former bail bondsman. In a 2010 interview with The Guardian, Chapman revealed the hidden meaning behind his name. Chapman told the media outlet: "When I was in a motorcycle gang I was made sergeant of arms. "He's the smallest guy with the biggest mouth who starts all the fights. "The club president called me 'God spelled backwards' because I spoke about God and I was man's best friend. "In the bounty hunter world it turned into 'this dog can hunt'." Chapman rose to fame as a bounty hunter in 2003, after his successful capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster in Mexico. He went on to catch more than 10,000 fugitives according to an interview published in The New York Times back in January of 2020. This is not the first time the bounty hunter has been plagued by a freak tragedy. The night before his wedding with former partner Beth in 2006, Dog received the horrific news that his daughter Barbara, 23, had been killed in a car accident while in a stolen SUV in Alaska. 6 Gregory pictured with his son Anthony 6 Anthony was reportedly killed in a freak accident More to follow...

Gordon Banks' 1966 World Cup winners' medal from the 4-2 final triumph over West Germany at Wembley could fetch between £220,000 and 300,000. The No 7 long-sleeved match shirt worn by the late Alan Ball in that clash is priced at £150k-£200k. And a complete set of 1966 World Cup ticket stubs for all 32 matches has been valued at £7,000 to £10,000. England's 125-cap record-holder Shilton, 75, sold his kit to a private collector following their controversial finals exit. A special launch event in Manchester takes place today and several items from the collection will be showcased at Premier League and Championship grounds throughout the year. David Convery, head of sporting memorabilia at Graham Budd Auctions, said: 'Items like this don't come up for sale normally.

The late Diego Maradona scored two goals — the first with his hand, the second with a sensational 40-yard dribble — as Argentina eliminated Bobby Robson's Three Lions from the '86 finals. Tunisian referee Ali Ben Nasser failed to spot the deliberate handball by the cheating Argies captain — who died aged 60 in November 2020 — and the controversy still rages. Former Nottingham Forest midfielder Steve Hodge nabbed Maradona's blue Argentina match shirt following the 2-1 Three Lions defeat. He stored it in his attic before it sold for £7.1MILLION — the most expensive piece of sports memorabilia ever.
