The golfer tweeted: “In case people don’t know, at the Open there’s a guy on each group that cleans the bunkers, but there’s a specific guy on the 8 (stamp) that does that job.
“I feel bad for the guy, his arms are about to fall off. Sorry from me and the professionals here 😂 #brutal”
Another guy who had a nightmare on Hole 8 was Romain Langasque.
The Frenchman had a temper that left him fuming in the first round at Postage Stamp after his errant tee shot saw the ball travel a few metres and land in the rough.
Langaske later revealed that he had injured his back on the fourth hole and thought it best not to continue.
Several other big-name players also suffered early-round losses, including Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy, who shot 7 over par.
