Justin Timberlake must have thought his birdie on the par-3 7th at Monterey Peninsula’s Shore Course on Wednesday would be good enough to win the hole for his team — then came Will Mackenzie.
The singer was playing a practice-round match with Olympic gold medalist Justin Rose against two-time Tour winner Mackenzie and partner Brian Thompson. With horrendous weather pounding the Monterey Peninsula, conditions have made the course quite a challenge, even to the most seasoned pros. So Timberlake’s two should have been more than enough to win the hole.
But Mackenzie rose to the occasion: the 42-year-old made an ace to snatch the hole from Rose and Timberlake.
