PGA Tour champion slipped while saving the ball

Previously, Horschel wanted to go from the dry pine on the right side of the fairway to the green with a 5 iron, but the swing was not sweet, so the ball sank in the Rae creek. Instead of releasing the ball with a penalty stick, the American golfer decided to hit from the current position. He stripped off his shoes and rolled up Ralph Lauren’s white trousers to his knees to settle the situation. From the green bank, barefoot he stepped down when he suddenly slipped and landed with his butt.

After the incident, Horschel swung his third shot, the water splashed and the ball onto the green, almost nine meters from the target with a birdie chance.

But he missed the tip, then kept par 0.6 meters away.

“It was one of the best plays I have ever seen. Horschel’s ball was completely in the water. I was curious about his fighting technique,” said Phil Mickelson, a fellow player on how his junior colleague was.

“Luckily I have had experience batting the water a few times for fun. As long as the clubface the full range, hit it hard, it’s up. Even Phil is impressed so maybe it’s my own highlight. in this round, “Horschel said. He finished the penultimate round at 73 strokes, stood at T47 with +4 after 54 holes while Mickelson hit 69 strokes at T21 (points even par). The top of the table belongs to Hideki Matsuyama at -11.

Before Augusta National’s 13th Augusta National Stadium “slip green” yesterday, Horschel several times torn his crotch when playing PGA Tour and broke the wind dance at Bay Hill – Arnold Palmer Invitational Stadium. At that time, he wanted to show Tiger Woods, but the high capacity fan failed in time.

Horschel was born in 1986, playing professionally since 2009. Over the past eight years, he has won six PGA Tour championships, the last time at the WGC-Dell Match Play pit event two weeks ago. Horschel took over $ 1.82 million for this victory.
