Thomas Detry suffers nightmare 6-putt at 2024 Cognizant Classic

Thomas Detry faced a challenging second round at the 2024 Cognizant Classic on Friday, March 1. The Belgian golfer encountered significant difficulties on the par 4 sixth hole, taking eight shots to complete it including six putts.

Despite a promising start with a 299-yard drive on the sixth hole, his subsequent shots added up, culminating in a double bogey that severely impacted his performance.

Thomas Detry had a tough time on the sixth hole of the PGA National's Champions Golf Course. He took six putts to get the ball into the hole, which is the most anyone has ever needed in this tournament on this course.

It's also the most putts by any golfer in a PGA Tour event since the 2020 US Open, where Danny Lee took six putts on a hole.

Detry struggled with his performance throughout the second round. He opened with a bogey on the first hole and followed it with two bogeys on the fifth and sixth holes. His poor form continued with additional bogeys on the seventh and eighth holes. Despite managing two birdies, Detry's Friday round concluded with a disappointing 9-over par 80.

Unfortunately, the tournament was suspended on Friday, and upon completion of the second round on Saturday, March 2nd, Detry failed to make the cut. Finishing with a combined score of over par 11, he found himself at the bottom of the leaderboard.
