During today's Malaysian Open, poor Pablo Larrazabal had a Jean Van de Velde type moment when he was suddenly attacked by a swarm of pissed off locusts. He had to take refuge in the water hazard in the middle of the fifth hole after being stung about the head and face, despite all this he got back out and finished the hole with a birdie, that's Miguel Angel Jiminez levels of not giving a fuck. Well played Pablo Larrazabal, don't let them hornets win.

Actually scratch that, going on this quote, he was quite concerned about the whole being stung by 40 giant hornets thing..

“They were three times the size of bees,” said Larrazábal. “They were huge and like 30 or 40 of them started to attack me big time.

"I didn’t know what to do. My caddie told me to run, so I start running like a crazy guy, but the hornets were still there, so the other players told me to jump in the lake.

“I ran to the lake, threw my scorecard down, took off my shoes and jumped in the water. It was the scariest moment of my career, for sure. I’ve never been so scared.”
