Playing his second hole of the opening round and coming off a bogey at his first, Sebastian Cappelen did what he felt needed to be done – he stripped off his shirt, one shoe and a sock, rolled up his pants, and tried to save par.
He didn’t.
Cappelen, who began Round 1 of The Honda Classic on the 10th hole, played his third shot from the mud on the par-4 11th. He hacked out to 12 feet but couldn’t convert the save.
Ranked 161st on the FedExCup points list, Cappelen birdied his next two holes to get back to even par, but bogeyed the par-4 16th and then made 8 at the par-3 17th after hitting two into the water.
