Lucas Bjerregaard sends driver over a cliff as he has nightmare on Pebble’s 18th hole

Lucas Bjerregaard hurles driver over a cliff as he takes ELEVEN shots on Pebble’s 18th hole 

Lucas Bjerregaard hit the headlines earlier this year for taking out Tiger Woods in the later stages of the WGC Dell Match Play, but on Thursday his name was being talked about for a different reason. 

He was already three-over for his round when he reached the spectacular par-five 18th hole at Pebble Beach, which has been the site of plenty memorable moments over the years. 

But on Thursday, the 27-year-old made it a hole to forget, hitting two tee shots left in to the water and one right out of bounds on his way to an 11.

He finally the fairway with a wood off the tee, and made a par with his fourth ball for a sextuple bogey – which is only marginally better than the 13 the scorers originally put down for him.

As for his driver? It won’t be making the return trip, because he threw that over the cliff somewhere in to Stillwater Cove.

“It’s tough,” Bjerregaard said afterwards. “It kind of ruins it all for me.”

“It’s a course where you have to limit your mistakes. You can’t afford to be making 11s.”

At nine-over-par, Bjerregaard currently sits tied for 149th place, 15 shots behind first round leader Justin Rose.
