Augusta, Ga. – Jose Luis Ballester He made a pretty impression on fans in his first Masters look on Thursday.
The 21 -year -old Spaniard, who plays in Arizona, needed a break in the bathroom and decided that if you have to go, you have to go.
Ballester said he forgot that on the 13th. Justin Thomas He was still on the 12. Green.
“I’m glad, I really have to pee,” Ballester said after his round. “I really didn’t know where to go, and because JT had a problem for the green, I’m glad, I will just crawl here in the river and probably people will not see me so much.”
Except that they saw him so much, which led to the roar of patrons.
“They applauded for me,” Ballester said. “Probably one of the clap I really got out loud today. So it was a little funny.”
Ballester that has been paired Scottie Scheffler And Thomas, created waves by wore the Arizona state cap representing the words “Sun Devils” upside down, and fans on social media saying that at an event like Masters is UNCOUTH.
Ballester fought for 76, the first nine with birdies, two bogeys and triple bogey. He said he could chat a little with Scheffler and called it “VIP pass” to play with both stars.
“I tried to relax with heating, tried to be myself, listen to music, tried to concentrate,” Ballester said. “I wasn’t intimidated at all by pairing I had.”
He said he regretted as he started, made a few mistakes, and got to the fifth hole where he released a double bogey 7. But he had no problem with what got him the most attention on the day, and said he wasn’t interested in any backpack from his bathroom.
“It wasn’t embarrassing for me at all,” Ballester said. “If I had to do it again I would do it again.”
