The words ‘Tin Cup’ and ‘doztuple bogey’ spring to mind.

Okay, doztuple may not be the exact way of describing how a professional golfer managed to drop 12 shots in a European Tour event, in Austria, this morning.

Perhaps the feat – when you next pull it off on your local course – could be called a ‘Pavlov’?

Russian golfer Andrey Pavlov had a good opening round at the Lyoness Open, on Thursday. The 28-year-old carded a -1 round of 71 to lie four shots off the lead.

This morning, his round got off to the worst possible start in the history of worse possible starts.

Pavlov took a wojous 17 on his opening hole.
