Luke Donald startled by baboon before taking shot (Video)

Playing a golf tournament in South Africa can involve some distractions that players aren’t used to dealing with in America or Europe. Like what? Like baboons on the golf course.

Yes, real baboons. During the second round of the Nedbank Golf Challenge on Friday, Luke Donald was startled by a baboon as he was walking up to one of his shots.

We have seen animals on the golf course before — some very scary ones, in fact. But has anyone ever seen a round interrupted by a monkey? That was a first for me.
