The American golfer Tony Finau has described his embarrasment at dislocating his ankle while celebrating a whole in one at the Masters.
Finau, who's of Tongan, American Samoan descent, was tied for second after Friday's opening round, having hurt himself a day earlier in the par three contest.
The 28 year-old said practicing fire knife dancing or Ailai Afi since the age of four, gave him the mental fortitude to play through the pain.
"I saw where it was and I knew where I needed to be, instinctively I just popped it back in place and I kind of chuckled at myself and I try not to take myself to seriously and that was the hard part, and that's why I was embarrased."
"It's quite funny, I just rolled my ankle celebrating a hole in one, you can't make that up," he said.
