Billy Horschel's psycho scorecard a quintessential tale of 2 nines at World Wide Technology

LOS CABOS, Mexico – Billy Horschel's scorecard from the second round of the World Wide Technology Championship showcased a seemingly ordinary even-par 72 at El Cardonal at Diamante. However, this round was far from ordinary; in fact, it could be considered the psycho scorecard of the week. Horschel's troubles began on the 10th hole on Friday, where he bogeyed two of his first four holes before a disastrous error on the par-4 15th.

After his tee shot sailed left into the native area, he had to re-tee and then faced a quadruple-bogey eight after his next drive also went left and ultimately a 3-foot putt for par. The snowman's fate was sealed as he missed the subsequent hole, but Horschel refused to give up. He turned the corner and adopted his first hole of the day as a "new nine," birdieing the first and then settling into a rhythm.

He holed out with 10 and 32-footers at three and four, and a 30-footer at five, ending the streak with a birdie at the par-5 sixth, an 18-footer at seven and a 5-footer at eight. Although he missed a 37-foot birdie putt at No. 9, his grit and determination were undeniable. Despite missing the cut, Horschel's performance showcased a remarkable example of two distinct nines – a testament to his undying spirit in golf.
