Matthieu Pavon pokes fun at himself after making a 12 at the 2025 RBC Canadian Open
Golf is a silly game, and even for the best players in the world, sometimes it requires a sense of humor to get through the tough times. Enter: Matthieu Pavon. The 32-year-old Frenchman shot even-par 70 in the first round of the 2025 RBC Canadian Open on Thursday and had a solid chance at making the weekend with a good round Friday. Matthieu Pavon of France plays his shot from the second tee during the first round of the RBC Canadian Open 2025 at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley on June 5 in Caledon, Ontario. That possibility went out the window after just one hole, though, when Pavon made a 12 on the par-4 10th to start his second round. The massive number dropped him more than 50 spots on the leaderboard, and he ultimately finished third-to-last, just one behind world No. 2 Rory McIlroy, who had a rough week in his own right. Advertisement Now, it wouldn't be the most shocking thing in the world to see a performance like that at your local muni on a given weekend, but how does a player on the PGA Tour — the highest level of golf in the world — make a 12? Well, Pavon explained exactly how. In a hilarious post to X on Saturday, Pavon walked through "The easy guide to making a perfect 12." Here's his breakdown: Step 1: "First shot: Feeling confident off the tee after a brilliant warm up. Pull the shot 40 [yards] left into deep rough." Step 2: "Get lucky: ball is plugged. Make a perfect drop — going for the green is tempting, although a little voice in your head says 'get back to the fairway.' Decided to go for it. Grass closed the clubface at impact — straight into the trees." Advertisement Step 3: "Dead! Try to go back to the fairway but failed. Now deep in the thick rough." Step 4: "Feeling smart now, try to anticipate the clubface closing at impact. Wasn't successful. Ball straight in the water!" Step 5: "Drop." Step 6: "Great decision: Dropping 60 yards from the pin on a tight and wet surface. Fat the shot, ball in the water!" Step 7: "Drop again." Step 8: "Head is gone. So why not try again from 60 yards instead of going a few steps back to you favorite 88 yard [shot]? Fat the shot again. Water." Step 9: "Drop again (starting to master it) from the same spot." Step 10: "Realize there are only two balls left in the bag. Play smart: aim left to avoid the big slope pulling balls back into the water." Advertisement Step 11: "Finally on the green. God, it feels good! Looking back at the 10th tee and feeling like the clubhouse is not so far away. Nice lag to 1 foot to make sure I'm not making three putts (not great for the stats)!" Step 12: "In! Highest personal score on a single hole in career. Walk to the next tee, try to pinch myself, ask my caddie if it was a 10? Turns out it was a 12! Think about John-Louis Guepy, the record-holder for most consecutive birdies (10). Why not? Birdied the next two... and came back to earth with a bogey on 13!" It was likely an embarrassing moment for Pavon, but nothing that a few jokes can't fix. And hey, it's not the worst score ever recorded on the PGA Tour. Not even close, actually. Pavon now turns his attention toward Oakmont, where he'll look to avoid a 12 and capture his first major victory at the 125th U.S. Open.

Rory McIlroy cards horror quadruple bogey after fellow PGA Tour star makes a TWELVE at the RBC Canadian Open
RORY McIlLROY admitted early this week that he's been struggling to stay motivated after winning The Masters and achieving the career grand slam. And his woes continued during the second round at the RBC Canadian Open as he carded a horror quadruple bogey during the early stages. 2 Rory McIlroy's poor form continued as he carded a horror quadruple bogey during the early stages of his second round - he's almost certainly going to miss the cut in Ontario 2 Matthieu Pavon carded a horror 12 on his opening hole of his second round at TPC Toronto McIlroy struggled in his opening round after a one-over total, and his second round got off to a disastrous start when he shot 8 on the par four fifth hole. The Masters champion flared his tee shot into the left rough — but it went from bad to worse when he tugged his next shot out of bounds. His second ball flew the green and McIlroy butchered the hole around the dancefloor, racking up a card-killer of a score. At the time of writing, the projected cut is two under par- with McIlroy currently an eye-watering seven shots outside the weekend number in Ontario. READ MORE ON GOLF The last time he missed a cut came at the 2024 Open at Royal Troon last July. The Northern Irishman hasn't finished outside the top 25 in back-to-back events since he went MC-T47 at the 2023 Masters and Wells Fargo. But he's almost certain to miss the cut at TPC Toronto after a T47 in his last event played at the PGA Championship. Elsewhere, Matthieu Pavon carded a shocking 12 on the par 4 10th hole in Canada after starting on the back-nine. Most read in Golf The Frenchman followed up the horror 12 with back to back birdies at TPC Toronto. Pavon's unwanted 12 is just the second of that number on the PGA Tour this season. Amanda Balionis accused by Scottie Scheffler of 'trying to get him emotional' during live TV interview Meanwhile, Shane Lowry is in contention after another fine round with a midway total of -8. He's four-strokes behind overnight leader Cameron Champ, who fired a second-round 66 to continued his fire form with a total of -12. The American is three ahead of Thorbjorn Olesen after he finished with a second-round 70. All the action is live on SKY SPORTS GOLF.

Humiliated golf star racks up a 12 at the RBC Canadian Open in disastrous opening hole
French ace Matthieu Pavon suffered the nightmare in Toronto but incredibly it isn't the worst score on a hole this year Mashed-up Matthieu Pavon was left devastated after carding a disastrous 12 at the RBC Canadian Open. The French star suffered the calamity on the opening hole, the 10th on the course, of his second round at TPC Toronto. Pavon's anguish began with a wild tee shot into trouble and, having got his ball back into play, he hit a fourth into the water. The 32-year-old reloaded and promptly hit his sixth into the drink before doing exactly the same again with his eighth after yet another penalty drop. Pavon finally managed to get his 10th shot onto the putting surface before taking two-putts to sign for a dozen. Such is golf, the shattered star bounced back with two straight birdies, but the damage was well and truly done. It was painful for Pavon, but he did go one better than William Mouw, who ended up with a 13 during his second round of The American Express in January. He made an octuple-bogey, tripped up by the notorious 18-foot-deep greenside bunker. It took him 13 shots to play the famed par five, most of which were caught by TV cameras. Mouw said: 'I'm definitely not the first to get captured by the bunker and make a big number and I certainly won't be the last.'
