Golfer Taylor Pendrith would have paid his caddie around $25,000 for his help at the Houston Open this week, and after a viral moment with a turtle, he earned every dollar.<br /><br />A video emerged on Sunday from the Texas tournament, appearing to show Mitchell Theoret picking up a turtle to move it safely out of harm's way as Pendrith battled his way up the leaderboard.<br /><br />However, as Theoret carefully held the turtle up, it urinated so much that viewers were left amazed at how much water turtles can hold.<br /><br />'This turtle might have had one too many at the bar before the round today,' one fan said, sharing the clip.<br /><br />Another fan said: 'I had no idea a turtle could hold this much in…'<br /><br />Theoret didn't seem to notice the animal was peeing to begin with before recoiling in horror. But he still held onto it before eventually putting it back down in a spot where it wasn't going to be in any danger.<br /><br />World No. 39 Pendrith would eventually finish in fifth place, tied with Rory McIlroy, five shots behind eventual winner Min Woo Lee.<br /><br />He won $337,844 for his finish, and caddies are usually paid around seven per cent of their player's winnings for a top-5 finish, meaning Theoret would have taken $23,649 home.<br /><br />Pendrith and Theoret will not be at the Valero Texas Open this week and instead will sharpen their focus on the Masters at Augusta the following week.<br /><br />It will be the first time Pendrith has locked horns with Augusta, with his appearance coming off the back of his first PGA Tour win last May at The Byron Nelson.<br /><br />A month later, the Canadian went on to clinch his best finish at a major so far with a tied 16th position at the US Open at Pinehurst.<br /><br />'The first tee will be a memorable experience with so many people watching,' Pendrith said about his first Masters appearance.
