Kevin Kisner didn't hesitate to take cover on Friday afternoon inside the NBC broadcast booth. The PGA Tour star and "proud hunter" wanted absolutely nothing to do with an errant bat that found its way into their tower during the second round of the British Open on Friday at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Kisner dove down under the table and whipped his jacket over his head in an apparent effort to just wait out the invasion. Kisner's broadcast partner, Dan Hicks, wasn't much help either. He just started waving his hands around frantically. Thankfully, Mike Tirico was there to describe the entire scene. "I'm telling you Mike ... just when you think you've seen it all," Hicks said after things had settled, adding that the bat did 20 laps around the tower they were sitting in. "I saw the feet up looking to land, I was ducking out," Kisner added. Honestly, it's hard to blame him. Kisner is on the call this week as part of his role as NBC's lead golf analyst, which he does while still competing on the PGA Tour. The four-time winner finished T8 at the ISCO Championship earlier this month, which actually marked his first made cut after missing nine straight and only his second of the season. While the duo aren't even to the midway point of the tournament, a bat making its way into the booth is about the last thing you'd expect while covering a major championship. Hopefully, the rest of the weekend is easier on them.
