The top 10 highest single hole scores in PGA history

The PGA golf tour is the highest level of golf in the world, but just like amateurs, they have holes they want to forget.

Here are the highest single-hole scores in PGA history!

At the par-four 17^th hole at the Denver Open in 1958, a rookie Bill Collins had a hole to forget, shooting a score of 15 in what was to be a tournament to forget for Collins.

At the Bing Crosby tournament in 1954, the previous winner in 1940, Ed Oliver, shot 16 at wind stricken par three 16^th hole. Oliver faced 50-mile wind gusts that proved to be far too much for him.

Long-time golf announcer Gary McCord had a nightmare hole on the 16^th at the Federal Express St Jude Classic, hitting the ball in the water a whopping fives time in a row, shooting a score of 16.

At the 2011 Valero Texas Open in San Antonio, Kevin Na shot 16 on the par four ninth hole. A shot in the woods, a weakened left-hand shot, and multiple scuffed efforts led to a hole to forget.

George Bayer is a former NFL player who took up golf once he finished playing for the Washington Redskins. At the 17^th hole at the Kentucky Derby Open, Bayer required 17 shots to complete the hole.

Golfer John Daly is notoriously known for being the founder of the 'Grip it and Rip it' motto, so unsurprisingly, he has made it on this list.

At the par-five sixth hole at Bay Hill in 1998, Daly drove the ball into the water, failed to get the ball out of the hazard in five attempts, and forced a few more mishaps, scoring 18 on the hole.

At the 1938 US Open, Ray Ainsley clearly didn't understand the rules of major championship golf and succumbed to the pressure of the tournament.

After knocking the ball into the water at the par-four 16^th at Cherry Hill, Ainsley repeatedly tried to hit the ball out of the water after not realizing he could take a drop. He ended up shooting a score of 19 on the hole.

Another man to fall to the treacherous Bing Crosby National was Dale Douglass in 1963, shooting a score of 19 on the tenth hole.

Douglass swung his tee shot into the sand, and by the time he got off it, he was already on his 14^th shot. Five strokes later, he put the ball into the hole.

The third player to become a victim of the Bing Crosby National was Hans Merrell in 1959, shooting a score of 19 on the par three 16^th.

Merrell missed the 200-yard pin off his tee shot and ended up on an ice plant vegetation patch. From there, it wasn't pretty, shooting 16 over par on the hole.

The highest score ever recorded on the PGA tour is from Tommy Armour, who scored a shockingly impressive 23 on the 17^th hole at the Shawnee Open.

Armour hit ten out of ten shots out of bounds on the par five hole, scoring 18 over par on this singular hole.
