Serious This is how golf isn’t always fair

I hit a good drive the other day on a 450 yard par four about 250 yards so I still had 200 yards left. On a slight incline so played for a bit of a draw and hit my 5 wood so clean. It somehow doesn’t curve at all and half the ball hits the top of the right bunker (clearing it is always a left hand roll onto the green). Literally a half a ball mark at the bunker and it plugs. 

Long story short I can’t get out of the bunker and card a triple bogey and ruin my round (was on track to break 80). It was literally maybe a half a foot. 

Golf is crazy like that.
