Jose Luis Ballester takes Masters potty break in Rae's Creek

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Jose Luis Ballester made quite an impression on the fans in his first Masters appearance on Thursday.

The 21-year-old Spaniard, who plays at Arizona State, was in need of a bathroom break and decided, when you gotta go, you gotta go.

Ballester said he forgot there were bathrooms just to the left of the tee box on the 13th hole, so he ran down to the tributary to Rae's Creek and relieved himself while playing partner Justin Thomas was still on the 12th green.

"I'm like, I really need to pee," Ballester said after his round.
