As there weren’t enough trouble already lurking on the Road Hole, Mark James on Thursday at the Senior Open encountered an identified flying object – a seagull.
The 18-time European Tour and three-time PGA Tour Champions winner struck his drive on 17, and that drive struck a seagull in mid-air, ricocheting the ball out of bounds.
James went on to make triple bogey on the hole en route to a 5-over 77.
Best of luck to the real victim, the seagull, who hopefully recovered enough to go to the bathroom on somebody.
