ONE OF US! PGA Tour pro Aaron Wise hits THREE consecutive drives in water on 18
PGA Tour pro Aaron Wise sends three drives into the water at 18 en route to a tournament-ending 10.
PGA Tour pro Aaron Wise had a final hole to forget on day one at The Players Championship as he sent three consecutive drives into the drink.
Wise, 26, was 2-over par when he boarded the par-4 18th but then disaster soon struck with the driver.
The 2018 AT&T Byron Nelson champion hit three identical drives into the water. They all started down the left side of the fairway but drew straight into the H20.

Wise went on to make a 10, sending him back to 8-over par for the round, which is second bottom.
Last place currently goes to Lucas Herbert, who shot an 82.
Rory McIlroy also had a day to forget with a 4-over 76.
No winner of The Players has started with a round worse than 73.

At the time of Wise making a 10 on the final hole, Sky Sports Golf's Ewen Murray could not help but make fun of Dame Laura Davies in the commentary box.
Murray said that it was the last time a pro had made 10 on a hole since the Women's British Open last year.
He was of course referring to the time when Davies made an unfortunate double-digit number at Muirfield.
It wasn't just Wise having something of a mare out there on day one though, as Nick Watney missed a four-inch putt on the iconic Island Green 17th.
He took four putts on the green, leading to a disastrous quadruple-bogey seven.
