Photographer struck by errant Tiger Woods ball, gets picture to prove it

[Admin]

Photographer Mark Pain snared an unusual photo while covering golfer Tiger Woods at the 2010 Ryder Cup in Wales over the weekend. Pain, a staff shooter for The Mail on Sunday, found himself in the line of an errant Woods chip shot, and managed to capture a frame of the incoming ball before it struck his chest and bounced to the ground. Neither he nor his camera - a Nikon D3S with AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED attached - were injured, while Woods and partner Steve Stricker went on to win against their European rivals.http://www.robgalbraith.com/imgs/blank.gifhttp://www.robgalbraith.com/imgs/blank.gifhttp://www.robgalbraith.com/imgs/blank.gifhttp://www.robgalbraith.com/data/1/rec_docs/187_d1_728x90.gif (http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/ad_link.asp?ads_id=337)http://www.robgalbraith.com/imgs/blank.gifhttp://www.robgalbraith.com/imgs/blank.gifhttp://www.robgalbraith.com/imgs/blank.gif
