Perhaps it was fitting that Romain Langasque’s short stay at this Open Championship came to an end at its shortest hole.
Langasque was already 3 over through seven holes when his tee ball at the 120-yard eighth hole, nicknamed the Postage Stamp, traveled just 84 yards and failed to even get within 10 yards of any semblance of short grass. The scramble was short-lived, too, as Langasque hacked his recovery shot poorly out of the hay, thinning it through the green and down into some more deep fescue.
By then, he’d had enough; the 29-year-old Frenchman took a few steps before turning around, taking off his hat and telling his caddie he was done for the week.
The reason: Reportedly a back injury.
