In the US Open in '92 on the last hole he also pulled his tee shot way over onto another fairway. Pitched back to 18 into a divot - what did he do? He got up and down.

Yesterday in the Honda Classic he was in a divot but sitting nicely (once again th last hole) with quite a twitchy short iron in - not a word, not a grimace - just hit the ball to the fat part.

That's what the top guys do.

The divot was filled with sand.
