The Bear Trap which includes, the 15th, 16th as well as, the 17th holes are the toughest ones. The professionals in round one of the 2022 Honda Classic played the Bear Trap with a score of 61 over par. However, Adam Svenson found the course relatively easy to play in the second round.

Adam did something really incredible in the second round of the event. The professional hit all of the 18 greens in regulation on Friday and became the second player since 2007 to do so at PGA National Resort and Spa- Champions Course.
Cody Gribble did the same back in 2017 in the first round of the Honda Classic. Svenson hit all the greens including that of the treacherous Bear Trap. However, this was not the only time he did it. He hit all the greens at the 2022 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at the Monterrey Peninsula Country Club in the second round of the event. Not a bad way to make your presence felt at the event.
It’s a rare feat, @AdamSvensson59. 😳
