Royal Troon’s iconic par-3 eighth hole, the Postage Stamp, measures just 120 yards and features five bunkers.

Joaquin Niemann found three of them on Friday.

Teeing off at 1 under for this Open Championship, Niemann landed his tee shot in the middle-right bunker, about pin high. His next ended up in the infamous Coffin Bunker left of the green, and his third ping-ponged back into the front-right bunker.

Finally, Niemann splashed out to the back portion of the green, 26 feet from the hole.

Three putts later and Niemann was walking off the green at 4 over having just carded a quintuple-bogey 8, the worst score on the short hole of the week.
