LIGONIER - Joe Inman was 13-over par in the Senior PGA Championship on Sunday, and then things really started falling apart.

Inman, a three-time Champions Tour winner, took a 10-over 15 on the par-5 18th after hitting five consecutive sand wedges into the water that guards the right side of the green. Inman wasn't trying to do it on purpose, but Inman kept trying the same shot rather than switching strategies.

The first two shots hit the green where he wanted, only to find a ridge that carried the ball off the green and into the water. Inman also sliced two shots into the lake.

"I looked to my caddie and said, `How many balls do we have left?'" said Inman, who went through two sleeves of balls on one hole. "He said, `One.' The pressure is on - last ball. So I aimed it farther left and put it over and then chunked it enough that it didn't have much spin and so it stayed on the green. And then I three-putted for 15."

Inman said he didn't get frustrated during the worst hole of his career.

"I tried on every one of them," he said. "I wasn't not trying. And I wasn't going to quit. I went on and played and I didn't scream and yell, but I never realized ... can't understand how that green can be that soft, how that ball comes back that far. The first two balls carried at least six or seven yards past the hole."

Unfortunately for Inman, No. 18 wasn't his final hole. He started the final round on No. 10, so he still had nine holes to play before finishing with a 16-over 88. That was only one fewer stroke than 83-year-old Jack Fleck during the first round, though Fleck didn't hand in his card.
