PGA Tour pro Tony Finau has opened up on one of his most embarrassing and hilarious moments on a golf course.

Cast your mind back to the 2014 and Finau was playing the Frys.com Open. It was his rookie season. 

He was playing No. 10 (his first hole of the day) at Silverado Country Club. Memorably, he drew fits of laughter when he let rip.

Tony Finau on his most embarrassing moment on the course:

The problem was Finau wasn't letting rip with his driver. In fact, he broke wind with one of the loudest farts you have ever heard. 

Finau, who has now won four times on the PGA Tour, recently joined the Beef's Golf Club podcast hosted by English pro Andrew Johnston. 

As a side note, Johnston will be making his return to the game at the Portugal Masters on the DP World Tour having been out of action through injury for more than a year. 

Of his hilarious moment, Finau told the podcast: 

"I just decided that I was going to do it. I knew it was coming, but I take it back, and almost simultaneously, as the club is kind of rising back, you hear this, like, really loud [makes fart noise]. And I end up still hitting the shot.
"People are already laughing before I even hit the shot because it was literally, like, as I was taking the club back. So I had to re-tee and, again, I'm a rookie. First of all, if you hit it out of bounds on the first hole and you have to re-tee, that's so embarrassing.
"But having farted super-loud and having to re-tee was about as embarrassing a moment I think as I've ever had on a golf course."

Poor Finau, but at least he took the moment in good humour. 

Finau went onto make a triple bogey on the hole. He did make seven birdies in the same round to sign for a 3-under par 69 and finished the tournament T-12
