Maybe there's a reason you don't see this too often.

Lee Hodges found himself on the precipice of a top-10 finish at the Honda Classic. But after the world No. 207's tee shot on the par-3 15th landed in the greenside bunker, he decided to get funky. He broke out his putter and zipped his ball out of the bunker, which then went across the green, rolled off, and was inches from falling into the water.

Then Hodges broke out the wedge — as he probably should have done the shot before — but not without dipping right foot in the water.
