However, Ballester has already participated in a major who played in this year’s Masters at Augusta National Golf Club in April. He didn’t get the cut, but he had a viral moment after admitting that he urinated in the famous Rae’s Creek, sitting on par-5 13. Hole as the last leg of the three hole “Amen Corner.”
Ballester said it was an emergency, but he caught a wealth of flak on social media for what many thought was that he was disrespectful to one of the most historical courses in the world.
“I’m like ‘I really need to pee.’ Didn’t really know where to go, and since [Justin Thomas] Had a problem on the green, I’m like, ‘I just want to sneak here in the river, and probably people wouldn’t see me much,’ and then they patted me. Probably one of the flaps that I really got really high today, so it was a bit of fun, “said Ballester, who shot a 4-over 76, after his first round.
“They saw me. It wasn’t embarrassing at all. If I had to do it again, I would do it again,” he said.
