A 16 on a par-4

San Antonio — Kevin Na will remember the ninth hole at the Texas Open for a long time.

Na set a new low Thursday for the worst par-4 hole in the PGA
Tour record books, shooting a 16 with a nightmarish sequence of
shots.

His problems included an unplayable lie from the tee, a
two-stroke penalty after the ball ricocheted off a tree and struck
him, and five consecutive strokes from the woods.

Na ended the first round thinking he shot a 15 on the hole. But
another stroke was added after Na reviewed the video replay before
signing his scorecard. He finished the round with an 8-over 80.

The worst single-hole score at a PGA Tour event belongs to John
Daly, who had an 18 on the par-5 sixth hole at Bay Hill in 1998.
Ray Ainsley took 19 shots on the par-4 16th hole at Cherry Hills in
the 1938 U.S. Open.
