Not all heroes wear capes. Some don’t even wear shirts.

Growing up in Ontario’s cottage country, golfing shirtless with your pants rolled up to your knees might not draw that much attention, but doing it at the PGA Tour’s Honda Classic does.

In what had to be the wildest day of his young career, Canada’s 23-year-old Drew Nesbitt shot a 1-over par 71 on Friday and made the 2-over cut on the number at PGA National.

With four holes to go in his second round, the 2,015th-ranked player in the world was a single shot clear of the cut line when he drove his tee shot into the water at the sixth hole. Nesbitt found his ball partially submerged at the water’s edge, his hopes of making the cut also partially submerged.

That’s when Nesbitt decided to take off his shirt, show off a farmer’s tan so deep that commentator Paul Azinger quipped, “he forgot to take off his shirt,” and take a swipe at it. Nesbitt, who last year shot the first 59 on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica, managed to advance the ball 120 yards and miraculously get up-and-down to save par.
