MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Adam Scott had a quintuple-bogey 9 Thursday on the 12th hole at Royal Melbourne on his way to a 75 in the first round of the World Cup.
Trying to drive over a dog-leg with his tee shot, Scott hit his first ball on the par-4, 402-meter (440-yard) hole into the bushes in the right rough, then hit a provisional in the same area.
He didn't find his first ball and his second was unplayable, so he returned to the tee and hit his fifth shot.
Scott hit through the green on his approach, got on the green for seven and two-putted for 9.
It was the fourth time in his career that he's had a quintuple bogey. His worst-ever score on a hole was a 10 on the par-5 10th at Doral during a World Golf Championship event in 2007.
