Justin Thomas Tok’s 11th hole, a muddy turn on Saturday at RBC Heritage.
After the golfer’s t -shirt blow landed in an area with shallow waters, he chose to hit his shot from that area by entering Bar, a penalty of a blow, and ended up splashing water and mud over his.
“It really didn’t seem to be worth it after that,” he joked.

It all started when Thomas and his temporary caddie, Joe Greiner, eliminated a signaling warning about the canyons of the ground, leaving him down and clearing a path for his shot.
Then, hey, he aligned the ball in the water, the upper part of the ball was only pushing from the swampy area, and tried the shot, just to get out of the water, travel only feet in front of him towards the grass and leave a collection of murmur.
Thomas prosecuted to clean his arms with a tower, driving the hole, and joked the journalists after his round that Greiner tolerated that he smelled of a “wet dog.”
“It really was, I felt that my only bad blow of the day,” Thomas told journalists about his first shot in Hole 11. “I thought I got so bad that I was going to be below the water, and simply came there. Usually, when you can see the ball like this, at least because of the observation experience, it is not too difficult to take it a long time of acceleration.
“I told Joe after the fact, I don’t know if I have ever hit one of the water. So I was definitely going to say that beforehand. I think I put a little deeply and I went like this in the water and other things.”
Thomas, who opened the tournament with a 61, fired a second consecutive 69, and up to 15 holes on Sunday, has a unique advantage over Andrew Novak at 17 bass.
If Thomas can escape with a victory, he would end a three -year drought that goes back to his victory in the PGA championship in May 2022.
