Erm... Not sure how to caption this so we'll just say what we see. Joel Sjöholm is currently in a boat to go and play his ball from an island 🚣‍♂️

#HeroOpen #GolfForGood Image
UPDATE: Sjöholm is terrible at moving signs, but has played his ball from Henderson’s island and made bogey.

#HeroOpen #GolfForGood
You’ve done everything right so far Joel, so whatever you do, don’t fall in...
