Professional golfer, Dylan Frittelli, made an UNBELIEVABLE par this pasted weekend that unfortunately became a double-bogey thanks to a bogus rule. Frittelli was playing at the RBC Heritage this past weekend and his final round on Sunday, he got into a little trouble on a par 4. He hooked his tee shot and his ball ended up in a TREE! As you can see in the video below, he chose to play the shot out of the tree and it worked out nicely for him! After this, he hit his 3rd shot to about 10 feet on the green and made the putt. BUT, that's when he was assessed a penalty for his second shot.
