Pro golfer Viktor Hovland got a birdie he didn’t ask for after a fowl dropped a No. 2 on him from the sky at the Open Championship on Thursday.

Hovland, who is ranked fifth in the world and tied for fourth place at last year’s Open Championship, geared up for a swing on the 15th hole before the bird dropped in for what one Twitter user called a “flyby.”

Video shows the bird sailing past Hovland before he stops to look down at his arms and apparently finds the crap.

“What was that?” asked Hovland to his caddie Shay Knight.

“I just got shat on,” the golfer later declared.

He went on to crack a smile as his caddie appeared to wipe the faeces off his shirt.

Hovland, who finished 1-under after the first round, is tied for 19th place heading into the second round of the major tournament.

The golfer has four PGA Tour wins under his belt including one at the Memorial Tournament last month.

Hovland is set to be paired with Tony Finau and Justin Thomas as the Open continues at Royal Liverpool Golf Club on Friday.
