Over the fence -- twice

Every amateur golfer can probably relate to what just happened to Stewart Cink. The consequences are probably a little higher this time, though.

Cink was tied with Tiger Woods for the lead in the second round of the Tour Championship when he reached the tee of the 458-yard 10th hole. Cink's drive was pulled left, landed in the rough, and took one big hop over the out-of-bounds fence, which is roughly seven feet high.

So Cink was handed another golf ball by his caddie, teed up again, and sent his second drive (and third shot, after the penalty) left again. This one cleared the fence on the fly, his second straight shot out of bounds.

Now hitting his fifth shot from the 10th tee, Cink's third attempt with the driver went left again. Mercifully, this one stayed on the East Lake property, nestling in the left rough perilously close to a fairway bunker. His feet were in the bunker, his ball was out of it, and Cink sent his sixth shot to the front fringe. He chipped on, then tapped in for a quadruple-bogey 8, dropping from a tie for first to a tie for seventh.
