On a Sunday afternoon in Connecticut, a single par-5 hole became a parable about how quickly competence can dissolve into chaos. J.T. Poston, a world-ranked professional, arrived at the 13th hole of the Travelers Championship with the round still in hand — and left it having made a 12, the result of three consecutive drop attempts swallowed by the same water hazard. What the scorecard recorded as a number was, in truth, a meditation on how thin the margin is between mastery and misfortune, even for those who have spent a lifetime narrowing it.
