Fish Eats Golfer's Ball Mid-Shot!
12 Aug
Summary
- A fish gobbled up a golfer's ball after it rolled into water.
- The golfer took a one-stroke penalty for the unusual incident.
- Other animals have interrupted golf rounds, but this was unique.
A LIV golfer experienced a peculiar golf ball mishap when a fish consumed his shot. Charl Schwartzel, the 2011 Masters champion, was playing at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster when his tee shot on the par-3 seventh hole landed on the green, rolled back, and entered a pond.
Spectators watched in astonishment as a largemouth bass emerged and swallowed the golf ball instantly. Although animals are known to interrupt golf rounds, this event was particularly striking.
According to golf rules, an animal moving a ball typically incurs no penalty, but Schwartzel's ball had entered a penalty area. He ultimately took a one-stroke penalty and made bogey on the hole.
