Who is this and what happened?

Let's play a game. I have posted a picture below.

Post saying who it is and what is going on, then post another picture of something else of interest. You can make it a where or when is this if you like.

Inspired by Mark T's profile picture:

Yep, 1985. One of those turgid events where players hit 2 iron tee shots into narrow fairways funnelled between cabbage and hacked out if got in the rough.

I would reply but swearing even in a foreign language bubble would get me an infringement.

It is a man who wishes it was the 2019 US Open.

One of the great quotes from the legend himself...

“The real mistake was the third shot. I knew there was only about a five per cent chance of getting up and down from that bad lie, but I still tried to hit a perfect shot. Today, facing the same shot, I would just take a bogey and move on.”

Does he end up in the water that is just out of shot?

Yeah. Irish Open (at Adare Manor, maybe?) a few years back. Swings and then loses balance and ends up in the water.
