Examples of fives in a Sentence

1. New Zealander Danny Lee:

   I parred two par-fives and missed about a five-footer on number 11 so it could've been a hell of a round, don't get me wrong, I'll take it every day but just need to clean a few things up.

2. Bryson DeChambeau:

   Sometimes you're just not going to get your way, you know ? unfortunately the par-fives weren't nice to me this week, except on 18 today. That's just something that I've got to work on.

   As a player, it's kind of scary coming to this city, seeing how the players are collapsing, seeing that fit players are needing inhalers to play tennis, and it's two out of three sets( in qualifying), it's not even three-out-of-fives yet.

4. Michael Hoey:

   I'm very positive and optimistic going back to Augusta because the last few years I've improved my performance there, last year, I played the golf course pretty much the way I wanted to. Had a good weekend. Played the par-fives very well ... it worked out pretty well.
