Patton Kizzire was in an uncertain position on the fifth hole during the first round of Masters Thursday.
Kizzire, 39, hit a shit -tee shot in the bushes from the right side of the fairway.
As he tried to figure out how to get out of the bush, Kizzire bent down on all fours to try to find a window he could knock his second shot out of.

The expedition in the bushes turned out to be fertile when Kizzire found a satisfactory hole in the branches. He knocked out his second shot in the middle of the fairway without any problems.
His third shot on par-4 fifth was 152 meters out. He hit his iron shot to five meters and gave himself a chance of somehow saving pairs from his troublesome drive.
However, Kizzire blasted the five-foot pair of putt past the hole and had to settle for bogey.
