“That might be worth three shots to him if he knocks that in,” analyst Nick Faldo said on Golf Channel’s broadcast.
Indeed. Davis, during Thursday’s first round of the Northern Trust, sliced his tee shot right on the par-4 16th at Liberty National, then he stood on the tee box as his ball nosedived toward the water right of the green waiting to see the splash. Only it ended up 9 feet from the hole. The ball bounced off a small collection of rocks, ricocheted forward about 30 yards — then bounced off a tent behind the green and ricocheted backward toward the green. (video below)
“Ooh, he might be dry,” Faldo said on the broadcast in real time. “He might be on the 8th tee. Oh no, it bounced back. It’s on.

He knew the break he got.
“That is some two,” analyst Frank Nobilo said.
