All aboard! Sjöholm enjoys bouyant bogey in Birmingham

Everyone has heard of a golf buggy but Joel Sjöholm needed a boat on the final day of the 2020 Hero Open.

The Swede was playing the 17th at Forest of Arden Marriott Hotel & Country Club when he sent a shot heading for the water but got a lucky break when his ball found land on an island.

The question now is - how do I play that shot?

Well if you're Sjöholm, you hop in a boat with no paddle, pull yourself across to the island, move some signs, play your shot, get back in the boat, pull yourself back across and only drop a single shot.

It was one of the more remarkable things you'll see all season on the Race to Dubai and we'll let the man himself tell you all about it.

“My second shot happened to go out and hit some trees and the board so it actually stopped on the island," he said. "We asked if there was a boat and there was a boat, so I did my best, however I made a bogey which I probably would have if I took a drop anyhow. The lie was not that bad. I think it was the most fun I’ve had all week, actually.

“I always tend to find ways out of my problems. I’m a problem solver more than I’m the greatest ball striker on earth. I tend to find my way out of things and I thought I’d find my way out of this as well. I sort of did. I definitely could have left it in the water or the penalty area, but we got it out and I made six.

“I think I was much more afraid of falling into the water than of me messing up when I got to the island. I saw that some guys were playing quite good around me so I hopefully I didn’t mess something up for them because I took some time down 17. I’m sorry for that but I did what I had to do.”
