Was it something he said?

Was it something he said?

Obvious though the ‘stirring up the Hornet’s Nest’ jokes are in this case, it was actually a pretty serious situation for Spanish golfer Pablo Larrazabal at the Malaysian Open earlier today, after he was forced to jump into a lake to evade the attention of a swarm of hornets, who stung him repeatedly while he was playing the fifth hole.

Despite concern from medical officials on the course about his wellbeing, Larrazabal holed a birdie immediately after and went on to record a 68 overall to comfortably make the cut; let’s hope that’s the last of the problems he’s plagued with this weekend.
