Barrester appears to have admitted that he urinated at Rays Creek in Amen Corner.
The Spaniard said, “I completely forgot that there was a toilet on the left side of the (thirteenth) tee box.” Justin Thomas “There was a problem with the green,” he said he used it.
“I really didn’t know where to go, ‘I really need to pee.’ JT has had problems with the green and says, “I’m not going to sneak a look at me here in the river.”

Barrester seemed not too worried about him taking a blow from Augusta National.
“They saw me. That’s not embarrassing to me. If I had to do it again, I would do it again,” he said.
Barrester appeared on the course in the typical young golfer outfit. Arizona golfers wore hats that upside down Gen-Z’s new fashion, Sun Devils. But it wasn’t the week of rivets for the Sun Devils Golf program.
Men’s golf coach Matt Thurmond was taken off the course during practice session Tuesday. He went to say hello to former ASU player Kevin Yu, who is making his Masters debut this year, before putting on shorts on the course.
Patrons are free to wear shorts, but they need full-length pants over the ropes where the player and coach are located. Calls are not allowed on the course either.

Barrester was paired with Thomas and champion Scotty Schaeffler. This is a pretty fun company. Last year, amateur Neil Shipley spent the final round with five-time winner Tiger Woods.
