Golf fans hoping to navigate around Augusta National near the 13th hole might have been confused for a brief moment Friday during the second round of the 2024 Masters Tournament.

Bryson DeChambeau, who entered the second round as the major's front-runner, had a directions sign in his way of his second shot. His solution? Simply yanking it from the ground.

“Taking signs down? Don’t think I’ve ever seen that," an announcer said on the Amen Corner live stream.

With the help of a volunteer, DeChambeau moved the sign out of the way and returned it after his shot. He ended up making an incredible recovery on the hold and drained a 14-foot putt for a birdie.

Golf fans seemed to enjoy that odd moment:

DeChambeau later bogeyed the 18th hole to finish with a one-over 73 in the second round. He will enter Saturday's third round at six under par.
