Jose Luis Ballester and Girlfriend Share Romantic Moment at The Masters
Jose Luis Ballester made headlines earlier this week for peeing in Rae’s Creek at the 13th hole, but now he’s turning heads for a different reason — his girlfriend.
On Thursday, April 11, Ballester's rumored girlfriend, Hayden Riley James, posted a picture of the two kissing at the Masters. She captioned the photo, "The most special place with the most special people???? i’m so proud of you @joseleballester , go kill it this week babe!"
Ballester responded to the post with his own comment: "So happy to share this week with you. ILY!"
Based on her Instagram, James appears to be a hair colorist who offers highlights, balayage, and more to her many clients.
James has over 16k followers on Instagram and has posted more than a few pictures with Ballester.
The 21-year-old professional golfer sparked a frenzy when he urinated in Rae's Creek on the 13th hole of the Augusta National on April 10. He later told reporters, "I completely forgot that we had those restrooms on the left of the tee box."
“And then I’m like, ‘I really need to pee.’ Didn’t really know where to go, and since JT (Justin Thomas) had an issue on the green, I’m just like, ‘Okay I’m just going to go sneak here in the river.’”
Would he do it again? Ballester says he would. "It was not embarrassing at all for me. So, if I had to do it again, I would do it again.”
Ballester plays at Arizona State and qualified for the Masters after winning the 2024 US Amateur in Minnesota.
