Fabien hits his 6-iron towards the green, but his caddie, Ruud, then points out that his ball was ahead of the tee markers. He tees another ball, within the teeing ground, and hits it into a greenside water hazard. His ball lies in a playable position within the hazard and before attempting a stroke Fabien removes a rule book and an abandoned ball that were lying in the hazard near his ball.

HOLE 2 � 422 YDS, PAR 4

Fabien asks his fellow competitor, Thierry, how far the fairway bunker is from the tee and subsequently selects his driver for his tee shot at this demanding par four hole. Unfortunately, he strikes his ball poorly and fails to clear the fairway bunker. Upon entering the hazard, Fabien removes a pine cone lying near his ball. Choosing a 5-iron, a flat swing sees Fabien hook his ball towards the boundary of the course. Upon reaching his ball, it becomes apparent that it is just touching the out of bounds line painted by the Rules Officials. However, as the majority of his ball is lying on the course, Fabien deems that it is in play and a deft pitch on the green leaving him with a tricky downhill putt to the hole. Eager to make another par, Fabien strikes his ball without much preparation and his ball strikes the unattended flagstick and falls into the hole.

HOLE 3 � 310 YDS, PAR 4

With the chance to go below par, Fabien decides to take on the water at this hole and go for the green with his driver. He creates an irregularity of surface (with some nearby sand) on which he tees his ball. After a deep breath he swings hard and sends his ball off with the required high fade towards the green. To the cheers of the crowd, his ball lands and comes to rest on the putting green, thirty feet from the hole. As Fabien walks onto the green, to his horror, a seagull picks up his ball and flies away with it, dropping the ball into the greenside water hazard. Substituting another ball, Fabien allows his caddie, Ruud, to replace the ball at the spot from which it was moved. Shaken he hits a poor putt which comes to rest just short. Unsure as to whose turn it is to play, Fabien decides to measure using the flagstick. Accidentally, he moves his ball in the process. Frustrated with his subsequent penalty he replaces his ball and rams his putt home for a par.
