Say hello to Jose Luis Ballester, the young Spanish bull participating at the Masters as the prestigious US Amateur champion, recovered well after a triple bogey seven at the fifth. But excitement got the better of him through the fabled Amen Corner, where, on the 13th hole, he went where none have ever gone before.
“Then I’m like, I really need to pee. I didn’t really know where to go, and since JT [playing partner Justin Thomas] had an issue on the green, I’m like, ‘I’m just going to sneak here in the river’ and probably people would not see me that much, and then they clapped for me.

Earlier in the week, his coach had to be removed from the practice range for wearing shorts. That should have been faux pas enough. But no, a double etiquette fail would follow, and one for which there was nil remorse.
Oh to be 21 and fearless again. Ballester, the son of Olympians, his father a swimmer and mother a hockey star, is tipped by double major winner Jon Rahm to be the next great Spanish golfer.
The prize on offer for the amateur with the lowest score at Augusta is not gold but a silver cup. Should Ballester, who opened with a 76, claim it, he would at least have a pot to pee in.
