Bubba Hits Crazy Shank That Almost Hits Him

While the Discovery Channel enjoys one of their biggest weeks of the year with Shark Week, Skratch TV has taken advantage of the opportunity to run their Shank Week parody during the same period.

On Thursday at the RBC Canadian Open, Bubba Watson lent a hosel rocket of his own to the cause and nearly incurred a two-shot penalty when the ball ricocheted off of the tree in front of him and narrowly missed hitting him in the head.

Watson’s second shot on the par-4 fifth traveled 65 feet in the wrong direction, according to ShotLink and Watson was unable to recover to save par. The bogey was only one of two he made on the day en route to a 2-under par 70 during the first round. 

Watson trails first-round leader Robert Garrigus by seven strokes heading into Friday’s second round at Glen Abby Golf Club in Ontario.
