Abraham Ancer admitted he was in disbelief at Bryson DeChambeau's actions during the second round of LIV Golf Adelaide.
DeChambeau, 31, got himself into trouble at The Grange's par-5 13th hole on Saturday.
The big American blocked his tee shot right and, because his golf ball landed near some shrub, did not have a clear line of sight to the pin.
So DeChambeau decided to use a nearby balcony to grab a yardage with his rangefinder.
"Myself and DJ [Dustin Johnson], we were in disbelief," DeChambeau's playing partner Ancer told reporters after firing a 5-under 67.
"Then I see him in the house on the balcony. I had no idea what was going on."
In the end, DeChambeau decided that his best course of action was to chip out sideways. He almost saved par.
Watch the moment here:
It was just one of many entertaining moments in his second round.
DeChambeau returned a card for a 1-over 73 that comprised of five bogeys and four birdies.
After 36 holes, Carlos Ortiz, Sam Horsfield and the aforementioned Ancer are tied for the lead on 9-under.
Joaquin Niemann is a stroke further behind and Jon Rahm is also in contention once again but is four adrift of the lead.
Henrik Stenson, Brooks Koepka, David Puig and Harold Varner III are also inside the top 10.
In the team element, Majesticks have a one-shot lead over Legion XIII and Fireballs.
