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!

Hi Guys - As I had money on him to finish top 5 and top 10, as the "two ball" incident wasn't his first attempt to get out of the mud - I was choked !!!! Think he ended with a six (triple bogey) by holing out from 15 feet - unfortuneately it was all too late for my flutter by then !!!

You have to laugh
