Hornet stings force golfer to jump in lake

Play golf, get stung, keep getting stung, find lake.

Pablo Larrazabal had a worse day than you. Unless your day also included being stung by a huge number of hornets.

The golfer was minding his own business, trying to play the fifth hole in the Malaysian Open when he was stung by at least 20 hornets. Larrazabel tried fending them off by swinging a towel, but finally elected to jump in a lake to avoid getting stung more.

It’s unclear what provoked the hornets, but we have at least one solid lead on the culprit who riled them up.
