LPGA Australian Open 2013: Kangaroo Delay!

So, a funny thing happened at the 2013 Australian Open today....

OH MY GAWD RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!

Things were going rather swimmingly at the 2013 LPGA Australian Open on Thursday. Lydia Ko was busy doing her thing -- you know, leading the golf tournament again -- and the weather was cooperating quite nicely. Then things got incredibly weird.

In my decade as a golf blogger I have never written the following line:

Play was stopped at the 2013 LPGA Australian Open today due to a kangaroo delay. I’m not kidding.

What the... how do you... huh? Is there a ruling on bipedal hopping animals blocking your approach shot? Furthermore, did anyone else know that kangaroos travel in herds? I find this to be the most frightening animal kingdom fact I have ever heard. Things could have only been worse if the savage kangaroos were wearing boxing gloves.
