Luke Donald split his pants on the golf course

Luke Donald didn't have a good day on Thursday in the first round of the DP World Tour Championship.

Donald shot 76 at Jumeirah Golf Estates' Earth course to end Day 1 of the 60-player field tied for next-to-last place. On top of that, he split his pants doing it.

The Englishman and former world No. 1 posted, then deleted, a shot of his split purple trousers with a clever hashtag: #playedlikeanass. Golf Digest caught the funny bit before it slipped away from the Internet forever.

The good news for Donald is that this is a no-cut event and he still has three rounds to right the ship.
