VIDEO: Tiger Woods Hits Hand On Cameraman At U.S. Open

Tiger Woods’ third round at the U.S. Open wasn’t pretty. Off from the first tee, he squandered a share of the lead heading into the weekend by shooting a 5-over 75 on Saturday. But to add injury to, uh, injury, Woods appeared to hurt his hand after making inadvertent contact with a cameraman after his round.

In the video, you can see Tiger make some sort of contact with a cameraman on his walk to a set of stairs, and you can barely see him shaking that hand after the contact.

It’s unclear whether Woods is actually hurt — he told reporters “I’m fine” — but his chances to come back from a five-shot deficit to Jim Furyk and Graeme McDowell will obviously dwindle if he is less than 100 percent for Sunday’s final round.
