LIVE TV commentators were hilariously stunned by an awkward FART noise at The Open.
Scottie Scheffler made a stunning approach to the 17th from the rough.
However, as his ball flew right at the flag, what appeared to be a trump could clearly be heard coming through the speakers.
It is unclear where the rogue ripper came from.
But it certainly caught the attention of Andrew Cotter on the broadcast microphone.
Cotter let out a brief: “Oh,”; on commentary when the fart happened.
He and his co-commentator then burst into a fit of giggles.
Cotter cheekily asked: “What are you laughing about?”;
And the popular broadcaster then quipped: “Just a little bit of wind from behind,”; on what was a .
The brilliant incident did not escape the attention of fans watching the action on TV, either.
One said: “Nothing like a fan ripping a fart as Scheffler drops a dart on the hole.”;
Another wrote: “An impeccably timed fart at The Open as hits one tight.”;
And a third added: “Doesn’t matter how old you get, a well-timed fart will never not be funny.”;
Scheffler, 29, tapped in the birdie putt and then saw another effort on the 18th green roll just past the hole as he finished on three-under.
The world and finds the joy of victory on Sunday afternoons as “fleeting”; certainly caused a stir.
But he let his clubs do the talking with a superb, dogged three-under-par 68 to put him one shot off the clubhouse lead after his first round.
Scheffler played through the worst of the wind and rain but his 18ft putt on the par 3 third and a fizzed approach from the rough to 3ft on the 17th bookended his five birdies.
The American, who saw another birdie chance narrowly slide past on the 18th green, insisted he is fully focused on .
Then he revealed some players have privately agreed with what he said – before suggesting the backlash may mean he closes up more when speaking to the media going forwards.
Scheffler said: “This week I’m trying to play good enough to win the golf tournament. I think I’ve made that pretty clear over the course of my career.
“I try to be as honest as I can with you all, with the stuff I’m willing to say.
“At times I feel like maybe I should be a little less honest – maybe I shouldn’t have said the stuff I said this week because now I’m going to get asked about it more.
“But really it’s just a matter of perspective, and I’ve had some players come up to me and say that they feel and think the same things.
“If anybody has disagreed with me, they haven’t said it to my face yet, so I don’t know what the reaction would be. But overall just glad to be out playing golf and competing again.”;
Scheffler hit just three of 14 fairways but added: “I actually thought I drove it pretty good. When it’s raining sideways, it’s actually, believe it or not, not that easy to get the ball in the fairway.”;
