Watch an LPGA fan go pond-diving for hat, lose beer, face-plant in Hawaii

While Michelle Wie, Inbee Park, and other top golfers were dealing with a tricky wind in the second round of the LPGA golf tourney in Hawaii, one waterlogged fan was struggling with the stiff Hawaiian breezes in another way altogether.

Golf Channel captured the trials and tribulations of this unknown spectator, who was waist-deep in a lake when cameras picked him up retrieving his drenched lid and attempting to climb back onto terra firma, only to watch his beer pop out of his pocket and float away as he face-planted into the hazard.

Perhaps someone forgot to tell Hatless Man that diving into a water hazard was a thing two weeks ago, when Brittany Lincicome celebrated her ANA Inspiration win with the traditional plunge into Poppies’ Pond. We’re also guessing the Lotte Championship officials motoring up in the golf cart were not there to applaud his derring-do or offer him another brew.
