Ballester has already participated in an adult, however, playing in this year’s masters at the Augusta National Golf Club in April. He did not cut the cut, but he had a viral moment after admitting that he urinated in the famous Raeau Raeau, which is on the 13th hole in 5 like the last stage of the “amen corner” with three holes.
Ballester said it was an emergency, but he caught a ton of Flak on social networks for what many thought he was disrespectful in one of the most historic lessons in the world.
“I say to myself:” I really need to pee. “I didn’t really know where to go, and since [Justin Thomas] I had a problem on green, I say to myself: “I’m just going to sneak here in the river and probably people would not see me much”, then they applauded for me. Probably one of the applause that I really got it today, it is very strong, so it was quite funny, “Ballester, which fired on 46 out of 76, after its first round.
“They saw me. It was not at all annoying for me. If I had to do it again, I start again,” he said.
