JR Smith would go on to double bogey the beehive hole, dropping him to +24 for the tournament thus far.

Smith has had some flashes of competent golf throughout the tournament, including a flurry of birdies during his front nine on Monday. But as a whole, it appears that he’ll be looking for some vast improvement for his next competition.

He’ll hope not to run into a bunch of bees during future competitions, as well.
