Without a playing card for the 2014 season, the heavy sleeping ‘Toro’ managed to sleep through the six alarms he had set to get up and eventually woke up at 7.58 am, with a tee time of 8.30 am.
Arriving at the course in a taxi, Joel didn’t even have time to get his shoes from the locker, running instead to the first tee in a pair of untied sneakers.
European Tour officials then met him at the back of the first green with a choice of two pairs of golf shoes.
“It was the royal treatment of the European Tour I have to say,” Sjoholm said after.
Here’s his description of events.
