I completely forgot that we had toilets to the left of the tee. And I really needed to pee, said the Spaniard after the first round at Augusta National.
It was on hole 13 during the first round of this year's first major tournament that the bladder reminded the promising golfer.
Since Justin Thomas had problems on the green, I thought I could sneak down to the bathroom. Probably people wouldn't see much of me, said the 21-year-old, who also played with the world number one and the reigning Masters champion Scottie Scheffler.
However, the audience did, responding with loud cheers and applause.
It was probably one of the highest applause I've gotten today, so it was a bit fun, said Ballester, who went through the first round four strokes over par.
