What it looks like to have Tiger Woods hit a ball right at you



On the final hole of Saturday morning's fourball at the Ryder Cup, Tiger Woods chips out of the rough and into the face of Daily Mail photographer Mark Pain.

Pain snaps this awesome shot before the ball ricochets off his camera into his chest and falls at his feet.

Neither Pain nor his Nikon D3S were harmed, according to reports.

5. Tiger Woods fights off Casper with a golf club before stunned onlookers. n/t

6. WTF was he doing taking this picture when Tiger was hitting?

As a golfer, this just pisses me off. I can only imagine how pissed Tiger was. It cost Tiger a stroke. The story says Tiger shanked it but eventually won the round. Still, this is ridiculous!

8. agreed 100%. looks like he's in his line of sight

i did see a story that said tiger & caddy steve had no problem with where the photographer was...

22. "Tiger was not happy with the shank, but did not complain about the photographer's positioning." n/t

[Goblinmonger]

17. I'm no expert, I'll admit, but from his foot placement

and the line it makes, this was a shank and should have gone nowhere near this guy.

[Gman]

25. Well, and Tiger's right hand is already off the club which he seems to do

out of disgust when he hits a bad shot. From the positioning the hand probably started coming off immediately after impact. And you're right. His feet being parallel to the line he wanted the shot to be on are not pointed at the photographer.

7. Good to see Cheech is in the crowd.

[rrneck]

9. But Dave's not there man. nt

[Iggo]

29. Those were the first words out of my mouth: 'Check out Cheech.'

:fistbump:

[rug]

10. On top of everything else, he's a teabagger.

[Quantess]

14. you're kidding.

I hope.

[rug]

16. All I know is there's a ball heading at somebody's face.

[BoneDaddy]

11. Come on, haven't his 11 mistresses talked about this already?

old news :)

[provis99]

12. I really don't want to know where Tiger hits his balls.

Doesn't he have girlfriends to hit his balls for him?

[pa28]

13. Good thing he got the shot. Hopefully his compensation will take the sting away.

The expressions in the crowd make this one as much as anything else. Edit: as someone pointed out above Cheech is there!

[A HERETIC I AM]

15. What I want to know is, who's the Groucho Marx lookin' dude in blue on the right?

He looks like someone who knows how to party!

Nice fuckin hat, BTW

[Liberal_in_LA]

31. You said it before me!

[Cirque du So-What]

18. My plastic surgeon

doesn't want me doing any activity where balls fly at my nose.

[proteus_lives]

19. That's a keeper!

[Drale]

20. The guy

in the back right with the cigar in his mouth looks photo shopped in lol

[petronius]

21. The crowd is pretty fascinating. Yellow-shirt guy (next to Cheech) looks pissed,

and why does the one dude have his hands up?

A bunch of them have a "Hah hah! You're gonna get hit!" expression...

[Liberal_in_LA]

30. 'cheech' looks like groucho Marx

[lpbk2713]

23. Mark Pain

Sounds like a character in a low budget action flick.


:rofl:

[AlabamaLibrul]

24. I for one am thrilled to hear the D3S was unbroken

Five thousand dollars - it'd better live up to that price tag.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

28. OMG! That's sooo funny I almost pee peed.

[Liberal_in_LA]
