Steven Bowditch tries to cover for whoever hit the worst attempt in the long drive contest
It's been a nightmare season for Steven Bowditch. One which has included more missed cuts than made ones and at one (low) point, contained a stretch of five consecutive rounds failing to break 80 for the Aussie.
