GIF: Retief Goosen putts his ball 20 yards off the green, makes double bogey

It hasn't been unusual this week at Pinehurst for pros to putt their ball off the green, but Retief Goosen's putt stands in a league of its own.

The two-time former U.S. Open champ hit his birdie putt on the par-4 13th a touch too hard and watched in misery as it caught the slope and rolled 20 yards off of the green. After he hit it, Goosen started walking after the ball expecting to hit another putt, but paused and turned to his caddie once he realized he'd be chipping back onto the green. It all led to a double-bogey 6, which at the time moved him to 11 over for the tournament.
