With your eighth shot, your ball finally arrives at the hole and starts to fall inwards, but is blocked by a fallen twig which has come to rest across the hole. The ball is balanced between the hole lip and the twig; if you were to remove the twig, the ball would fall into the hole. You remove the twig and the ball falls in, so you score 8.
