Ben DeArmond Shoots 17 on 2nd Hole at Web.com Tour's Lecom Suncoast Classic

In sports, "splash" can represent many things.

In basketball, it might mean Steph Curry has gone off with another barrage of threes.

In golf, at least Thursday, it meant Ben DeArmond was hitting another ball into the water.

DeArmond, a pro at TPC Treviso Bay in Naples, Florida, hit six balls into the drink on No. 2 during the first round of the 2019 Lecom Suncoast Classic. He hit his tee shot into the water on the 491-yard, par-four hole, and then proceeded to knock his five subsequent shots into the water before eventually settling for a 17.

"I've learned nerves are a real thing," DeArmond said, per the Associated Press. "I had a great range session, felt good going in, and it was just an out-of-body experience on that hole."

DeArmond finished the round with a 91, though he did bounce back nicely. The club pro parred 10 of his last 11 holes. 

"If you learn anything from me today, it's don't withdraw, don't give up, have fun with it," DeArmond said. "It's a game. Everybody has a bad day, a bad hole—even the worst hole of your life. So you have to move on."

Despite the brave public face, one wouldn't blame DeArmond if he skipped out on the showers after his round Thursday to avoid water as much as possible.
