WATCH: PGA Tour Pro Gets Stumped By Huge Slice Of Bad Luck

Right, that's the last of the tree puns! Let's focus on the golf and a peculiar incident at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans that involved Branden Grace and a three-foot dead tree stump.

Only eight months ago, TPC Louisiana felt the wrath of Hurricane Ida, a freak weather event that left the course completely unplayable. The green staff in New Orleans have done a fantastic job in getting the course back into the pristine condition we are used to seeing when this tournament comes around. 

On the par-4 13th though, it seems that a bit may have been missed, much to Grace's expense, as his ball found a rotten tree stump that was some 280-yards away from the tee.

Watch the video below:

Partnered alongside his fellow countryman, Garrick Higgo, the South African's had been vying for the lead around TPC Louisiana. Standing at six-under-par for the day as they reached the 13th, the duo were actually in a share for first.

Stripping his tee shot down the fairway, Grace went for the instant tee-grab, signalling a very good drive. However, like magic, his golf ball disappeared, with cameras eventually locating it in the centre of a dead tree stump.

Removing a dead piece of wood off the top, Grace took an unplayable lie, with CBS commentator Dottie Pepper humorously stating: "This is just plain old bad luck. You go to TopGolf, you might take dead aim on a little target like that. Light up the whole scoreboard."

What happened following the bad luck, you may ask? Well, Grace would go on to make a par! What's more, his partner, Higgo, would go one better, with a birdie, keeping both of them in contention. 

Following the birdie, more followed at the 14th and 16th, with the South African's eventually finishing five-shots back of the red-hot pair of Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay going into the final day.
