Pro loses 32 balls at wind-swept Web.com event

With winds whipping up to 40 mph, things were bound to get a little wonky at the Web.com Tour’s Bahamas Great Exuma Classic.

How wonky, you ask? Well, enough to set the new record for highest ever cut line in a Web.com Tour event at 11 over par.

Greg Eason, who shot 91-95, claims to have lost 32 golf balls in the process:

And in case you’re doubting just how difficult the conditions were, here’s some highlights from the first few rounds, where Nicholas Thompson leads and is the only player under par:
