Two Balls With One Shot!

Just sat here watching the US PGA on Sky.

A player (Green) had hit his ball into the edge of a pond.

His golf ball was visible and he decided to play it. 

He's put on his waterproof jacket to protect himself.

So he's taken his swing and he hit well behind the ball, big splash of water and his ball popped up about five feet and dropped into the semi-rough in front of him.

When Sky have replayed the shot in slow motion it turns out that two golf balls have come out of the pond!!!

There must have been an old golf ball buried in the mud, and seeing as he hit so far behind his own ball he's collected this other ball at the same time.

You do see some odd things on a golf course!

Graeme McDowell was also pretty unlucky with that shot he played out of the water.  I think to most of us it just looked like the takeaway caused the water to ripple and only in the very very slow mo could you see any notion of the club catching the water.

It all still seemed to be rather unlucky and inconclusive.  2 shot penalty though.

Didn't see that one Darren, but I did hear about it.

Does seem harsh when he gained no advantage from touching the water!
