{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Golfer Billy Horschel gave the phrase "your a--s is grass" a new meaning at the Masters on Saturday.
Horschel was working the 13th hole at Augusta National Golf Course when his tee shot on the par-5 went into the pines. His second shot then sailed into some water right before the green. Instead of taking a penalty, he decided to hit the ball out of the tributary of Rae’s Creek.
