Tiger Woods isn’t the only sneaky dog playing golf.
A stray mutt became the ruff-est hazard facing players at a tournament in Scotland yesterday when he snapped up a professional golfer’s ball from the green and ran off with it.
“It’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever had happen on a golf course,” said the fairway-robbery victim, English pro Paul Casey (pictured).
“I noticed the dog on the 12th tee, and he sort of followed us down the fairway before taking a real liking to my golf ball.”
The fore-legged fiend, reportedly named Digby, eventually dropped the ball in the rough by the 13th tee after a spectator stopped him.
Casey was playing with Olympic swimming great Michael Phelps as part of a pro-am event, the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at the Kingsbarns course in St. Andrews.
It wasn’t clear how Digby got on the course.
A fan eventually retrieved theball and returned it to Casey. He then used it to make a birdie on what had become the wildest doglegged hole he had ever faced.
