Comedian and actor Martin Short was a member of the PGA Tour, and Rock was not at all surprised to see him in contention late in a tournament he was assigned to cover for the paper.
On the final hole, Short's approach landed in a greenside bunker and was pinned in behind a standard, dark green, U-channel signpost. He had no shot at the pin but hoped he could get his ball out of the sand to the front of the green. Unfortunately for Short, the signpost limited his backswing to mere inches, and he managed to move his ball no more than a foot from where it landed, and it remained in the trap.
Afterward, he and Rock both tried the shot again. Neither could improve on Short's first effort.
"That's just a hard shot," Short said. "I figured it was beyond me when I first saw it."
"No kidding," Rock said. "There really isn't much you can do with that."
