This is from today's AJC's ATT Notebook. . .
But both Norman and Duval had it better than Franklin Langham, who started out with a 13. Yep, a 13!
Langham, playing on a sponsor's exemption, hit his first four tee shots out of play to the left. He finally struck one sideways after taking a drop from the native brush, leaving him 340 yards from the pin while lying 9 on the par-5 hole.
Before the day was done, he had written down a triple bogey and three double bogeys, his score standing at 22 over when play was mercifully called with one hole to play.
Assuming he returns to finish his round Friday morning, Langham will post the highest score since the tournament moved to TPC Sugarloaf in 1997. A year ago, Michael Boyd opened with an 86. Langham has already taken 90 strokes.
Divots:@ Langham was among 35 players still on the course when play was called with darkness approaching. ...
I have seen that hole and the OB can get you on the left if you are battling a pull. Talk about a tough start!!
