J.T. Poston posts a 12 on a single hole at Travelers Championship in stunning meltdown

Golf humbles many, including those who are the best in the world.

Just ask J.T. Poston at the Travelers Championship on Sunday.

What started out as a chance to put a low score on the card at the 13th hole after getting greenside in two shots, Poston, the world No. 32 in the Official World Golf Ranking, posted a 12 in an absolute meltdown that derailed his entire day.

While Poston may not have been in contention, he wasn’t picturing himself at the bottom of the leaderboard by the end of the tournament, but the 12 was the main reason behind finishing 6-over and 1-over on the tournament for 69th place out of the remaining 72 that made the cut.

So, what exactly happened to Poston?

Well, the 13th hole began with a perfect tee shot that found the middle of the fairway. Then, his second shot found a greenside bunker, but professionals sometimes don’t mind finding those bunkers because of how great their short game is. A good bunker shot and Poston has a chance at birdie on the par-5.

But things went awry from there, as the bunker shot came out quite short, leaving him with a chipping situation. Again, professionals understand that’s not the end of the world, with a chance at par after a solid chip.

The nightmare was just beginning for Poston, though, as his fourth shot went clear across the green and ended up in the water on the other side.

From there, Poston had to drop not once, but three separate times because he couldn’t get his ball back on the green. On his 10th stroke, he finally got the ball into a putting position.

Poston still had to keep going, putting his 11th stroke and missing it before a tap-in 12 and ending the meltdown in front of the fans.

Poston spoke about the multiple drop balls near the water that continued to roll back into the drink.

"It’s not really rough, where you can kind of blast it out," Poston said, per Golfweek. "It’s into the grain, but it looks like you can get enough golf ball on it, which is why I kept trying to hit a good chip."

Poston was asked if he even thought about putting it out of the greenside rough with his chips clearly not working out.

"I feel like it’s just going to hop and that takes all the speed out of it," he responded. "And you’ve got this big false front you got to get it over. So my worry with trying to putt it was it would not have enough speed to really get there."

Poston didn’t bounce back on the 14th hole either, as he posted a double bogey on the par-4 to put himself down even more. In the end, Poston posted a 76 on the day to finish off his tournament.

Meanwhile, the Travelers Championship will come down to a playoff that must be played on Monday after Viktor Hovland and Scottie Scheffler found themselves deadlocked at 21-under after the latter sank a putt to force it. Hovland's putt to win it all just missed and Scheffler took advantage of the open opportunity.
