Description:

Number 13 was unlucky for Seve Ballesteros in 1988. In the second round of the PGA, when his teeshot overflew the green of this little par three, the Spaniard found his ball lying in a creek bed just few feet from the four-foot high stone wall that supports this green. Attempting a quick-rising cut shot, he skulled the ball into the wall. It nearly hit him on the rebound, settling in some thick brush. From there he needed three more strokes to reach the green, where he sank a ten-footer for a triple-bogey 6. He shot 75 and missed the cut.
