Professional golfer James Heath was mid-sentence during a Soudal Open interview when blood began dripping from above his eye. The interviewer noticed it before Heath did.
The DP World Tour shared the clip on social media Tuesday with the caption, “Where did that come from?!” The incident took place before the Soudal Open at Rinkven International Golf Club in Antwerp, Belgium.
“Man, I got to tell you, just got a big drop of blood about to go in your eye,” the interviewer said. Heath’s response was immediate. “Yeah, what’s that all about, man?”
“I nicked myself with a club on the range just beforehand,” Heath responded. “It’s actually me and my caddie just had a little bust-up.”
The video ended without any further explanation. No further details were provided. Heath stood there with a cut on his forehead after nicking himself with a club on the practice range.
Before the interruption, Heath was answering a question about his preparation. “Just normal stuff, but still had to show up,” he said before the interview suddenly stopped because of the blood above his eye.
