  If you hit it from a high elevation it's probably still going.

  First are you sure that the 180 yard 6 iron was the correct club?

  There are some spots with huge drops in elevation where the 180 yard 6 iron could easily go 195 yards against a  10 mph headwind.

  Secondly are you sure you actually hit the 180 yard 6 iron? I can't count all the times I have accidentally hit the scroll wheel and changed clubs. Many times I have caught it and changed the club back, but many times I have missed it and either hit a shot that went a lot further than I expected or came up way short . It happened just yesterday morning when I thought I was hitting my 64 degree wedge punching it to go 50 yards. The shot flew 65 yards meaning I actually hit my 60 degree  wedge.

   Playing R.S.G, for example the uneven bounce there can put a lot of run on the Ball regardless of the wind strength

  Just played a shot with my 190 yard iron from a 30/40 rough and the ball stopped after 268 yards 76 yards behind the hole. ok, it was St Andrews, that par 5 hole ... and so it was my bad decision to try that, but it happened.

  I stopped wondering about such situations at the 3rd day of my WGT-career. From that time on I am absolutely sure, that every aproach shot of mine that does not land into the hole must be a WGT-failure  ;o)

  It can.  

  done many times before.  Just like a strong tailwind with ding & falls short.  
  Go figure.  It's the wonderful world of WGT.   Enjoy your stay.
