Masters amateur Jose Luis Ballester wore a more modest hat for his second round Friday at the Masters.
He donned a black Arizona State hat with the pitchfork logo, representative of the university where he currently plays golf.
He sent the social world into a frenzy Thursday with an Arizona State hat that spelled Sun Devils upside down. Many suggest that it was disrespectful to the Masters, known for its classy style.
Ballester shot a 4-over par 76 in his first round and was 2-over par on his first nine Thursday. He's currently at 6-over par, four off the projected cut.
Golfer pees at Augusta
The hat wasn't the only thing Ballester had social media in an uproar about Thursday.
The 21-year old admitted to relieving himself in Rae's Creek after teeing off on the par-5 13th.
"I really need to pee," he said. "Didn't really know where to go, and since (Justin Thomas) had an issue on the green, I'm like, I'm just going to sneak here in the river and probably people would not see me that much, and then they clapped for me. Probably one of the claps that I really got today real loud, so that was kind of funny.”
His college coach was also removed from the practice range earlier in the week for wearing shorts and asked to change into pants.
