Shhh ... They're Trying To Hit A Stationary Object

John Daly was injured trying to stop his backswing after being distracted by a fan taking his picture, forcing him to withdraw from the Honda Classic after only two holes Thursday.

Yep, you read that right. Daly was hurt because of a camera clicking. Golfers are such fine-tuned athletes.

The fan, who was not identified by the tour, is a resident of the PGA National complex where the tournament is being held and, because she lives on-site, it wasn't clear if she went through standard security screening. She was unaware of the tournament's no-camera policy, Honda executive director Ken Kennerly said.

"Like the rest of us, she is devastated that her use of a camera resulted in an injury to John," Kennerly said. "We will continue to examine all options in our effort to eliminate cameras and cell phones from the course."

40,000 people can be screaming at a batter in baseball with a 95 MPH fastball that moves coming at him and he's supposed to make solid contact with it, but a golfer can't be bothered by a camera clicking in the background or it will ruin his timing. That has never made sense to me.

The clicking could be heard almost at the same instant he started his backswing. He stopped and reportedly glared at the woman before trying to swing again, but immediately complained of pain and walked off to seek treatment in the tour's medical trailer.

Knowing Daly's social life, maybe he thought the click of the camera was something more nefarious and that's really why he froze in mid-swing.
