Juice flirts with history before rapid descent

As the clock closed in on noon here Thursday, fans and the media scrambled to discover exactly what a Joost Luiten was.

It turns out it’s a Dutch golfer, one who put quite a scare into major championship history. The 26-year-old European Tour player who wears two gloves — only in warm conditions — incredibly stood 8 under with four holes — including a reachable par 5 — to play in his PGA Championship debut.

One birdie and Luiten would tie the all-time scoring record in a major. With two birdies, the complete unknown would have booked the first 62 in Grand Slam history.Find louboutinwomenshoes at ShopStyle.

Luiten bogeyed his final four holes — he finished on the final nine — and settled for a 4-under 68.

One scribe in attendance dubbed it “the worst 68 in history.”

“You can’t deny that you get nervous … but I was just a little bit too aggressive with my putts on six and seven,” said Luiten, who is playing in his third career major — first in the United States. “I was in the birdie mode and when you are thinking like that all you want to do is to try and make more birdies. The two putts in six and seven I should really have lagged them to the holes and made the pars. Those were unnecessary bogeys; and then I just hit two iron shots in the wrong spots on the eighth and ninth and you make bogeys when you do that on a golf course like this.”
