WEE-GATE golfer Jose Luis Ballester might be relieved to see his girlfriend stealing the attention from him with viral fame.
Hairstylist Hayden Riley James has swung the spotlight away from the Spaniard’s creak-leak mishap at the Masters.

Fans have gone crazy for “proud” Hayden’s glamorous photos and supportive words on Instagram.
Amateur player Ballester earned plenty of unexpected focus in his two rounds at Augusta.
He failed to make the cut but did make the headlines – for two controversial reasons.
First he raised eyebrows with his choice of headwear when partnering world No 1 Scottie Scheffler in the first round.
Ballester opted for a cap with ‘Sun Devils’ written upside down – not quite the usual thing at such a traditional venue as Augusta.
Then came the notorious moment when he was caught short.
Ballester popped to the river for a wee incident that was seen by some fans.
He was initially defiant, saying: “Yeah, the people saw me. But it was not embarrassing at all for me. If I had to do it again, I would do it again.”

But he later apologised – and escaped punishment from Augusta chiefs.
Now, however, it’s his partner Hayden who is doing all the talking – with her pics and excited words.
As Ballester prepared for perhaps the greatest golfing occasion of his career, Hayden posted: “The most special place with the most special people.
“I’m so proud of you @joseleballester , go kill it this week babe!.”
She shared a picture of the couple kissing by the scoreboard.
Ballester himself replied on instagram: “So happy to share this week with you. ILY!”
Hayden now has 17,200 followers on Instagram – 200 more than Ballester.
And although he missed out on the final two rounds at Augusta, her presence has only grown – at least in the minds of her online admirers.
She was labelled “so precious” and “so beautiful”.
But surely best of all was this comment: “Never seen you so happy.”
