Saturday has been a pretty wild day for Billy Horschel at The Masters — particularly on the 13th hole.
Absolute disaster struck when Horschel drove the ball into what looks like a shallow creek at Augusta National. That, on its own is pretty bad. But luckily, he could still get to the ball. And so he did.
But it didn’t come without a bit of a laugh. He had to take off his shoes and roll his pants up just to get to the ball without getting absolutely soaked in everything. It was pretty hilarious to see.
But what was even more hilarious was the fact that he slipped down the hill as he was getting to the ball.
It’s a slip and slide at Augusta!

This is hilarious. And Horschel is OK — he had a bit of a laugh about it himself.
The best part is that he actually managed to get out of this sticky situation clean. He managed to salvage the hole and save par after escaping from the water.

Well played, Billy. Well played.
