Wayne Riley is rarely lost for words, but even Radar was rendered almost speechless when a short instruction piece in The Open Zone didn't go to plan.

The answer was a resounding "no" as the Aussie, who won six professional titles during his playing career, shanked his effort way right and looked suitably humiliated as the laughter echoed around The Open Zone.
"I'd probably ask everyone not to show that, but you know you're all going to see it," he said. And he was right!
