Overview
- Michael Brennan, during Thursday’s opening round at TPC Louisiana, removed his shirt to hit a ball from a water hazard on the par-5 18th hole.
- He popped the shot up but it splashed back into the water, and he then took a penalty under the rules.
- Teammate Johnny Keefer had already played into position and made par, which counted in the best-ball format that uses the lower score on each hole.
- The pair posted an 11-under 61, sitting three shots behind leaders Alex Smalley and Hayden Springer after the first day.
- The PGA TOUR’s clip spread quickly with playful commentary, and Brennan later said he tried the risky play because his partner had a birdie putt.
