American golfer has absolutely horrific opening hole on his final round at the US Open

An abysmally awful start is half the battle.

Chris Kirk is a PGA tour golfer. However, he seemingly forgot that little fact about himself on Sunday. While pretty much the rest of the pack parred the opening hole at the Chambers Bay golf course, Kirk didn't come close to getting the ball into the cup in four shots. It took poor Kirk a remarkable 10 shots to eventually get the ball into the hole, leaving him with a score of 6+ for the first. The other story in this is that he made one hell of a recovery to par the next two holes.   https://twitter.com/shanebacon/status/612650517303431168 Kirk has since sent this angry tweet where he slams the tournament organisers. https://twitter.com/Chris_Kirk_/status/612721005824380928
