A Belgian golfer had crashed out of the World Match Play Championship in Bulgaria after he was forced to play out of a toilet.
Defending champion Nicolas Colsaerts was beaten by Ryder Cup colleague Graeme McDowell 2 and 1 in the quarterfinals on the Thracian Cliffs course after his tee shot flew into a public toilet close to the green, The Age reports.
The report further said Colsaerts was then told that he had to take a one-stroke penalty drop within the cubicle, adding that since it was impossible for him to play in the confined space, the Belgian was allowed to take a 'free' relief on his way to saving par.
Expressing amusement over the incident, Colsaerts joked that it entire episode would be broadcasted all over the world as 'Belgian guy playing golf in Bulgarian toilet', adding that it was the first time that he had ever hit a ball in the toilet.
McDowell is the highest-ranked player in the event at number eight and will become the first Irish-born player to win the event if he is successful.
