The moment Tiger Woods's Ryder Cup challenge was halted
Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | Oct.3, 2010 | Staff

This is the moment Mail photographer Mark Pain found himself in the line of fire at the Ryder Cup - and for a brief moment brought the mighty Tiger Woods to a juddering halt.

The American world No 1 was partnering Steve Stricker and attempting to chip his third shot on the final hole of yesterday morning's fourball match against Europe's Ian Poulter and Ross Fisher on to the green.

But Woods hit the ground behind the ball and duffed the shot straight at Pain.

The man from The Mail didn't flinch, however, and captured this extraordinary picture just before the ball hit his camera, bounced on to his chest and came to rest at his feet.

“Check out the dude on the right with the stogie.”

Do the people on the right look photoshopped?

They are more vivid.

It is a great shot! It's better for being focused on the audience than on the ball. The shooter must just be incredibly happy, even though he might need a new lens.

Better shot for it being accidental. He couldn't have known that Eldrick would hit a very poor shot directly at him.

When I'm shooting, I have no problem with saying I'd rather be lucky than good (though being both certainly helps, I'm a ways from that).

I shoot with a D5000 with two fantastic Nikkor VR lenses and a Tamron 90mm macro.

Fantastic photo. Look at the little boy at 8 o’clock from the ball.

Oh, my, hadn’t noticed the little fellar!

That strikes me as very Norman Rockwell, don’t you think? I could just him painting a scene like that with the boy peeking between the legs of the grownups, trying to see the exciting action on the green.

Someone else just pointed the little fellar out to me as well.

I said the scene with the kid was very Norman Rockwell!
