PHOTO: This is the craziest pin placement ever, and it was in a pro event

Pro golfer Bo Hoag wasn't too happy with a hole location during the Monday qualifier for the Puerto Rico Open.

Hoag tweeted a picture of the location on the Sugarcane course at Dorado Beach Golf Club, showing a cup cut just a few inches -- maybe 3 inches -- from the back fringe.

Several players reached out in response to Hoag's tweet to ask if this photo was real, and Hoag reiterated that it was.

Hoag shot 3-over 75 to come up eight shots shy of qualifying for one of four available spots in the event opposite this week's WGC-Cadillac Championship.
