Coach Matt Thurmond had to be escorted off the practice range at Augusta on Monday after turning up in shorts.
An official was quick to remind Thurmond of the ‘trousers only’ rule after he stepped onto the range to have a chat with golfer Kevin Yu.
And he was promptly led away.
Thurmond, who coaches Josele Ballester, said: “I went out on the range without thinking, gave him a hug. After about one shot and one quick hello, they came out and said, ‘I’m sorry, sir, you can’t be on the range with your shorts.’
“My bad, it was a mistake I made. I want to follow the rules here when I’m at Augusta and do everything right. Lucky to be here and appreciate everything here. I just made a mistake.”
