TUESDAY’S TEXAS-ARLINGTON UTA Waterchase Invitational appeared to be going to plan, until the sudden dislodgement of a tree limb on the venue’s eighteenth hole led to the exposure of a sizeable beehive.
Unsurprisingly, its inhabitants were less than thrilled by the disturbance and set about terrorising players and competitors alike.
“UTA spokesman Gregg Elkin said bees were swarming the area within minutes and several people were stung, though none seriously.
Elkin says a beekeeper was called in and recommended the area remain cleared for several hours. That prompted officials to call off the event early in the final round.”
It’s a shame; a swarm of angry bees would have made a novel hazard.
