Kevin Na’s embarrassing LIV Golf moment

When on the greens, golfers always have the opportunity to put the ball in the hole, especially when the ball is close to the hole. Na had a similar opportunity at Trump National Doral. During an individual match play against Majesticks GC’s captain Ian Poulter, Kevin Na had the opportunity to go 2-up against the Englishman.

The Korean American golfer was on the verge of scoring the hole and even thought of walking towards it, thinking he struck a beauty. It is a practice followed by Kevin Na since his PGA Tour days. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out this time, as the ball, after nearly falling into the hole, bounced back on the greens.
