The secret to links golf? It’s not technical

The assorted tales of bad bounces in golf could double as campfire ghost stories.

There's Joe Daley at Q School in 2000, whose bogey putt dropped into the dead center of the 17th hole, but then improbably ricocheted off the bottom of the cup and popped out. Daley ended up missing his PGA Tour card by one. There's Tiger Woods at the 2013 Masters, whose approach into the 15th hole hit the flagstick, his ball caroming into the water and ending his chances.
