Web.com Tour player Malnati has priceless reaction to mud splatter

Sometimes trying the "Hero Shot" is a bad idea.

Web.com Tour golfer Peter Malnati provided an example on Thursday at the WinCo Foods Portland Open, when his second shot landed in the hazard short of the green at the par-3 12th. Malnati, who is fourth on the tour's money list heading into this week's regular-season finale, decided to play the shot from the muddy lie instead of taking a drop and a penalty stroke.

The shot didn't go well, with the ball rolling back into the hazard and mud getting all over his light-colored clothes.

Malnati's reaction was hilarious, "Are you kidding me?! All of this for that?!"

He went on to make quadruple-bogey 7 en route to 4-over 74 in the opener at Pumpkin Ridge.
