But, it happens. There's going to be distractions out there when you play. You have to be able to handle it and bounce through it."I was able to get up and down on 10, but unfortunately the 11th bit me. It was right back to the way I was kind of hitting the ball all day. ... I was just hitting the ball unsolidly and a little too crooked."Rattling change in ones pocket has long been seen as a way of purposefully distracting a player; though, the camera crews intentions were not known.Ryder Cup great Seve Ballesteros was known to have an untimely and reoccurring cough during matches.
