Doesn’t it always happen this way?

Tom%20Lehman.jpgYesterday morning, Golf.com blogger Josh Sanburn provided this remarkable piece of information about PGA Tour professional Tom Lehman and the devilish 17th island hole at the TPC at Sawgrass (picture on the golf post from yesterday):
Lehman has 55 straight safe landings at 17

Who’s the master of the par-3 17th? That honor goes to Tom Lehman, who, through 55 rounds at the Players Championship, has never hit his tee shot in the water and is 13-under overall on the hole. He parred the 17th on Thursday.
“You catch the wrong gust on that one, you’re in huge trouble,” Lehman said after his two-under first round, which put him among the leaders. Lehman hit an 8-iron to the left side of the green Thursday, good enough for a two-putt par. We’ll see if he can keep the streak alive through the rest of the week.

So, what did Lehman do when he played the 17th later in the day on Friday? Of course, he dunked his tee shot in the drink.
