John Senden driver slammed on his downswing and he missed the ball in
a monster aerial shot that sparked controversy at Australian PGA
Championships on the Gold Coast Thursday.
The Australian veteran was two under par at the Royal Pines Resort
when he doubled at the tee, pulling the pilot over his head only for the
the tree to break near the handle as he lowered it to the ball.
This left him unbalanced and shook his hand after the club seemed to pinch him.
In the absence of any other driver in his bag, he was forced to use an iron, the swing being considered a shot, which left many fans puzzled.
"For this to count as a strike, should not one have an intention?" asked a Twitter user.

Senden finished with a par 72, six behind leader Jake McLeod and
Matt Jager, seconded by world number 21 Mark Leishman
shoot a 68.
