We are not entirely convinced that "Septuple" is a word - Is there a word for +7 on 1 hole??
That's what Cabrera did on the Par 3 6th at the opening round of the USPGA (Southern Hills, Tulsa).

After firing 2 balls Oscar Bravo, he followed up with a slap into the water and pretty much kissed goodbye to making the cut at the years final Major.
In stifling conditions (goodness knows how Daly was able to get round in one piece and shoot 67!!), the player gathered for what many regard as the weakest of the 4 Majors, partly due to the quality of some of the courses over the years.
Everyone expects Tiger to deliver and at +1, he's not dead and burried.
69s (-1) for Padraig and Westwood keeps alive the prospect of a European winner (2 Majors in a row... surely not??)
However, the surprise name at the top of the leaderboard is Graeme Storm from England.
A fantastic 65 has given him an unlikely lead and seemed to surprise even him.
"I don't know where that came from," quipped the Englishman.
I'm not a sport psychologist but that suggests to me that making the cut is the goal as opposed to winning the damn thing.
We are off to Machrihanish now for 3 days of golf heaven and will be watching events unfold from Tulsa over the weekend.
The only thing we are worried about is the post USPGA feeling that is inevitable on Monday morning .... "That's it for another year!!"
