Gordon Sargent made the cut for specialty golf for the first time in his young career this weekend when he got the chance to play all four rounds of the US Open.
The 20-year-old Alabama native finished his round Sunday with an unusual putt. He was trying to close out the round on the 18th hole at Los Angeles Country Club with par. However, the ball seemed to bounce into the cup and then out. He would finish the hole with a bogey.

He had five bogeys on the day but also six birdies, shooting a 69 but finishing the tournament 4 over par and well out of the lead.
But the issue of 18 raised eyebrows in the golf world, as something similar to what happened to Sargent could disrupt the final grouping of the day.

According to ESPN, the cup was damaged a bit because the group before Sargent had misplaced the flag. The cup was reportedly fixed after the putt.
