Kraft makes a 12 on 2nd hole at Dell Technologies Championship
Kelly Kraft's FedEx Cup title hopes came to an end just two holes into his first round Friday at the Dell Technologies Championship.
Kraft, who sat on the playoff bubble in 64th spot, made a 12 on the par-5 second hole at TPC Boston. The 2011 U.S. Amateur champion pulled his tee shot well left of the fairway, but made a nice recovery with his second shot to set up a manageable third attempt. However, that's when disaster occurred for Kraft with a sequence of ugly shots and penalties, ultimately adding up to the horrible score.
