A Bird Shit On Viktor Hovland As He Was Getting Ready To Swing, Stupidly Wiped It Off Before Blowing His Birdie Putt

This right here is a pivotal, pivotal moment in The Open. Everyone says getting shit on by a bird is good luck. I never understood that. I prefer not to get shit on. It's a day-ruiner, no matter where you are. And you know what? There's no good luck. Hovland blew a relatively easy birdie putt on this hole right after this. Gotta blame the poop. If he made it? Sure good luck and all that since he'd be at -1 with 3 holes left, but nope. 

I'm shocked this doesn't happen more in golf tournaments, especially over at The Open. You got birds all over the place. Hell at my local track there's always geese and birds flying around. Now I gotta play in my league tonight with this in the back of my mind. Thursday night league is clearly as prestigious as The Open. 

Credit Hovland for stopping his swing though. You start to get the bad boy moving and there's a 100% chance one of us just blades that shit directly to the right. Get all flustered because of bird shit. Not Viktor though. He's gonna tell his caddie he got shat on and then blow a birdie putt. Difference between pros and us. Shouldn't have wiped it off though. If people are going to say it's good luck, you keep that bird shit on you until a bad shot.
