Humiliated golf star racks up a 12 at the RBC Canadian Open in disastrous opening hole
Mashed-up Matthieu Pavon was left devastated after carding a disastrous 12 at the RBC Canadian Open.
The French star suffered the calamity on the opening hole, the 10th on the course, of his second round at TPC Toronto.
Pavon's anguish began with a wild tee shot into trouble and, having got his ball back into play, he hit a fourth into the water.
The 32-year-old reloaded and promptly hit his sixth into the drink before doing exactly the same again with his eighth after yet another penalty drop.
Pavon finally managed to get his 10th shot onto the putting surface before taking two-putts to sign for a dozen.
Such is golf, the shattered star bounced back with two straight birdies, but the damage was well and truly done.
It was painful for Pavon, but he did go one better than William Mouw, who ended up with a 13 during his second round of The American Express in January.
He made an octuple-bogey, tripped up by the notorious 18-foot-deep greenside bunker. It took him 13 shots to play the famed par five, most of which were caught by TV cameras.
Mouw said: 'I'm definitely not the first to get captured by the bunker and make a big number and I certainly won't be the last.'

Celtic winger Marco Tilio 'set' for Rapid Vienna move
After contributing five goals and five assists in a temporary spell at Melbourne City last season, the 23-year-old played less than 30 minutes in the Parkhead club's 4-0 pre-season win over Newcastle United on Saturday. He has made only two senior appearances for Celtic since his summer 2023 signing from Melbourne City. Read more: Sky Sports Austria claims that Tilio is 'set' to join Rapid in a loan deal that includes an option for a permanent transfer, though talks of a full move are said to be ongoing. Melbourne City manager Aurelio Vidmar recently weighed in on the winger's future. He said [NewsWire]: "It's clear with Marco that he's been pretty keen to go back to Europe. "He was involved in a friendly game last weekend, so it's highly likely we won't have the return of Marco, but we just don't know where that's going to end. "He's part of Celtic's property. "We don't own the player, so we'll see where that goes. "There'll be ongoing discussions until we actually know what's happening before we make the next move." Tilio's potential move to the Austrian Bundesliga could give the young player more first-team opportunities.

Johnny Kenny's direct response to Celtic striker competition
The striker capitalised on a horrific error from Nick Pope in the first half to bag his second goal in four pre-season outings. There is a wealth of competition at the top end of the park in Brendan Rodgers' squad with Kenny, Callum Osmand, Adam Idah, and new signing Shin Yamada all vying for minutes. That's without mentioning Daizen Maeda, who can also play through the middle in attack. "I want to go out every day in front of the manager and make a claim for the position," said Kenny after his side beat Newcastle 4-0 [RecordSport]. Read more: "Obviously, there's going to be a lot of rotation, but I want to be in there chipping in with goals for this amazing club. "The more competition, the better. Every day is a challenge at big clubs. "Adam [Idah] is my fellow countryman and us Irish look after each other and he's been brilliant with me since I came back in through the door. "Daizen [Maeda] too. He's a joy to play with. You can never write him off, he's amazing. To play with someone like that is a joy. "It was great to get a run out again. To get a goal was a bonus. "The manager has been brilliant with me, giving me the opportunity to play against big opposition. I just want to take it and learn every day. "It was a tough test physically and mentally but we handled it very well. The manager said before the game we can beat them with the pace on the ball and moving the ball and we were very good that way." Celtic are back in action on Thursday when they take on Ajax in the Como Cup.
