Tony Finau shot a hole-in-one at the Masters par-3 contest, then dislocated his ankle while celebrating.

that's EXACTLY why i have refused to make a hole in one so far.

btw, bummer for tony.

I wonder how many injuries happen to athletes while celebrating some achievement or other. Seems like a whole lot.

Can the wild celebrations and just move on.

I still cringe when I recall that.

One of the strangest 'celebration' injuries is still Chris Coghlan, who tore up his knee while trying to deliver a shaving-cream pie to the face of a teammate who had just hit a walk-off single. He's never been the same since then. He had been Rookie of the Year in the NL.

Finau is scheduled to play today even with the ankle. This should be interesting.

meh, he should be fine on it. afterall, augusta is known for being flat and level, with hardly an uphill in sight.

Eldrick really struggling with his iron shots.

+2 now after bogeying the 11th.

Phil starts with a birdie.

He's my pick to win it.

Tiger is imploding on the back nine. He just dropped his tee shot on 12 into Rae's Creek, but managed to make a great putt for bogey. The 11th hole was also a mess.

+3 now for the round.

Finau should sprain his ankle more often.  Actually is pretty remarkable that he is playing so well.  -3 through 9.

Sprain? He dislocated it. Had to pop it back in.

That was beautiful.

[fan_since79]

The 14th is playing today as the hardest hole, and Tiger birdies it. Go figure.

He's +2 now for the round.

That was gruesome. I won't watch it.

This is why Mathis has enjoyed such a long career. He made sure not to ever achieve anything worth celebrating.

genious

He can rev up his game quickly.

Except for that one shining moment in 2009. His teammates almost killed him after that walk-off double.

[fan_since79]

The "defending champion makes a 13 on a par-5 hole on the first day of the Masters" look.

He was one of my favorites too. Golf is cruel.

 

edited post. The previous picture was from yesterday's practice round.
