Examples of double-bogey in a Sentence

  1. Billy Foster:

    At the U.S. Open he played great golf to get into the last group with American Dustin Johnson and Oakmont was just one of those courses that if you were slightly out of position you were fighting against a bogey or a double bogey, he got off to a horrendous start, he was five-over after five. The day was over and from then on it was a case of just cheerleading American Dustin Johnson home.

  2. Matt Kuchar:
