PGA Tour golfer Thomas Detry has a day to forget as he suffers a SIX-putt meltdown at the Cognizant Classic and cards a QUADRUPLE bogey eight en route to finishing dead last

Belgian golfer Thomas Detry entered the second round of the Cognizant Classic knowing he was in danger of missing the cut and needed to bounce back after shooting two over par on Thursday.

But his round fell apart around him on the sixth hole when he carded a quadruple-bogey eight thanks in part to six putts.

After reaching the green in two, Detry had a 57-foot putt that simply sailed past the hole, leaving him with a five-foot putt for par.

Detry pushed his par putt to the left of the hole and that’s where the meltdown really began.

He walked confidently toward his ball and didn’t even put his feet down before making his bogey putt, which hit the back of the cup and went flying.

Thomas Detry needed six putts to finish the sixth hole on Friday (above: his seventh shot)

Detry hands his putter to his caddy after taking eight shots on the sixth hole.

Detry finished the hole at eight over par and finished the final day of the tournament.

Detry didn’t reposition his feet and hit it, only for the ball to slide out of the cup once again, stopping almost exactly where his par putt began.

For shot number seven, Detry took a breath to compose himself and made the putt, but for the third time in a row, he left the hole.

He stopped less than a foot away from the cup and hit it, finally ending up with a mess of a hole.

The sixth hole at PGA National was something of an albatross (not the good kind) around Detry’s neck this week.

In the first round, he made a double bogey six, the only double of the day for the Belgian.

One imagines that he would wish for the same fate to happen on Friday. Unfortunately, in addition to the quadruple bogey, he also hit a double on the par-4 14th hole.

If we add to that five bogeys and only two birdies, Detry ended up shooting nine over the round and 11 over the tournament.

That left him last in 143rd place, finishing four strokes behind the next-worst golfers who were in a five-way tie with seven overs.
