Twitter

Did Russia's Andrey Pavlov get off to a good start to his round at the Lyoness Open on Friday? 

Nyet!

Pavlov shot a disastrous 17 on the par-five first during his second round at the Diamond Country Club, tying for the second-worst score in European Tour history, per the BBC.

It turned out to be a true Tin Cup hole for Pavlov (without the redemptive ending), as he found the water six times. 

He eventually shot a 90 (18-over) for the round, after scoring a one-under 71 the previous day.
