The most disastrous performance ever seen at the Masters by Sandy Lyle
Sandy Lyle missed the cut at the Masters Tournament, by scoring extremely humiliating scores of 20-over par in the two rounds.
The 54-year-old Scottish professional golf player let down his fans’ expectations at the Augusta National Golf Club, after hitting 86 in the first and 78 in the second round.
He started the tournament on Thursday and played a devastating round, carded a bogey on the first and finished the round with another bogey on the 18th hole.
Lyle was able to be at-par only eight times on the 18 holes. He also failed to score a single birdie. On the other hand, he bogeyed seven times and also made three double bogeys till day-end.
He made a new record of the lowest first round scores at the Masters by hitting 86, 14-over par. His scores show that he was playing at the backyard course, not at Augusta.
After hitting the lowest of all time, somehow officials allowed him to play on Friday, but he added insult to injury in the second round as well.
He started early in the morning and made a double-bogey on the first hole. Then, he bogeyed six times till-day end, with only two birdies on the 2nd and the 13th hole.
The 1988 Masters winner missed the cut and finished on the last position of the leaderboard. His fans never expected such a poor performance from him, but they have to face the bitter truth of today.
Fred Couples and Jason Dufner are the current leaders of the tournament. They both scored 5-under 139 and displayed amazing performances in both the rounds.
Meanwhile, Style faced several difficulties while scoring at Augusta. The 18-time European Tour winner recorded his last win in 1992. Since then, he has not won any title and his ranking is ruined as well.
He has played the Masters, because of being the winner in the past. This is an official policy that the all the Masters winners can play every year.
Winning the Masters title, allows the players a lifetime entry, so Lyle was in the field.
This is a good opportunity for the Scottish, as players dream for the Masters. Lyle can play till he desires to. Now, he is left with ample time to practise and display some impressive scores in next years’ Masters.
