VIDEO: Golfer Thomas Levet breaks shin after celebratory jump into lake

Thomas Levet of France was so thrilled he won his home country’s golf open that he did a celebratory jump into the lake. Unfortunately, the 42-year old misjudged his foray into the water and broke his shin.
Oops.
The former Ryder Cup player has a cast on his leg as a result of his exuberant celebration at the 18th hole at Le Golf National on Sunday, ruling him out of the Scottish Open starting at Castle Stuart on Thursday.
The 42-year-old Levet’s management company, IMG, says he is receiving “intense treatment to the fracture” and will consult with a specialist this week in a bid to make the Open.
And of course, the story is made much better when video exists of the celebratory FAIL.
(Fast forward to the 2:00 mark when Levet realizes that his leg isn’t functioning correctly as he tries to stand up)
