Being a Masters champion is something most recreational golfers can’t relate to, but 2007 champion Zach Johnson looked like a weekend hacker when he accidentally hit his ball during a practice swing on the 13th tee at Augusta National.

The 43-year old was not assessed a penalty and the shot did not count as a stroke as Johnson had no intention to hit the ball.
Johnson’s actual drive went 285 yards down the middle of the fairway, and he knocked his approach shot on the green and two-putted for an easy birdie on the par-5.
Johnson finished with a one-over par 73 in the second round and is at 3-over for the tournament.
