Aug 10 (Reuters) - Charl Schwartzel found an unusual hazard in the final round at LIV Golf Bedminster on Sunday when a fish appeared to swallow his ball after it rolled into the water beside the seventh green.
The South African's tee shot at the 134-yard, par-three hole rolled off the putting surface and settled in the pond, where TV footage showed the ball being ******* ed from beneath the water.
"Have you ever seen anything like this?" LIV Golf wrote in a social media post accompanying video of the incident.
The former Masters champion had to take a one-stroke penalty and settled for a bogey on the hole. He finished two-over par at the tournament, which was won by Chilean Joaquin Niemann.
