A golf commentator’s deadpan comment about an ‘unusually shaped’ green during the DP World Championship this week had fans smiling.
The commentator, believed to be Dominik Holyer, saw a wide shot of a green for hole No 17 on the Dubai course as Rory McIlroy has just played a shot.
Holyer made specific mention about the configuration of the green before the cameras panned across it.
‘What an unusual shaped green that is,’ the commentator on Fox Sports Australia said.
The green had a striking resemblance to a man’s penis from the air.
‘Some brilliant comments on the golf this evening,’ one viewer said.
Another added: ‘He knew where he was going with that one’.
But while fans were chuckling at the television sets at the joke, the joke didn’t seems seem to land on-air, with fellow commentators remaining silent.
