Josele Ballester saw the dream of each golfer, but not without controversy.
By winning the American amateur 2024, the 21 -year -old in Spain was able to play Augusta National this year at the Masters.
However, during his first round in the famous course, he raised his eyebrows by making a questionable decision in an emergency.

Ballester apparently admitted that he had urinated to Rae’s Creek in Amen Corner.
The Spaniard said that he “had completely forgotten that we had these toilets to the left of the (13th) Tee Box”, and after playing the Justin Thomas partner “had a problem on green,” he said that he had taken advantage of it.
“I say to myself:” I really need to pee. “I didn’t really know where to go, and since I had a problem on green, I say to myself:” I’m going to sneak here in the river and probably people wouldn’t see me much “, and then they applauded for me.

Ballester did not seem too concerned about the fact that he obtained a return of flame from Augusta National.
“They saw me. It was not at all annoying for me. If I had to do it again, I start again,” he said.
Ballester appeared during a typical outfit of a young golfer. The Golfer of Arizona State wore a hat that said “Sun Devils” upside down, a new fashion for Gen-Z. But it was not exactly a fascinating week for the Sun Devils golf program.
The male golf coach Matt Thurmond was removed from the course during a training session on Tuesday for having wore shorts on the course after he went to say hello to the former ASU player, Kevin Yu, who is doing his master’s degree this year.
Although customers are free to wear shorts, complete pants are required beyond the strings where players and coaches are located. Telephones are not even authorized on the course.

Ballester was twinned with Thomas and the defending champion Scottie Scheffler, who is a fairly fun company.
