Rogue Golf Ball Disables Teenage Competitor

Seventeen-year-old golfer Matteo Manassero was forced to withdraw from the pro-am of the French Open this week after being hit on the hand by somebody else's errant golf ball.

I really, really suck at golf. And I admit, the few times I have gone golfing, my head has constantly been on a swivel because I'm convinced that a stray golf ball is going to nail me on the head. It's one of those embarrassing things you don't want people to notice, but I now feel completely justified thanks to Manassero.

Some other guy was also forced to withdraw from the tournament this week due to an insect bite, a recurring theme this week.

I don't know if I consider golf a sport, and both of these instances are kind of wussy, but at least Manassero gives me a reason to post one of my favorite movie clips of all time (NSFW):
