A golfer at the U.S. Women’s Open hit a birdie on Thursday … but not one she was hoping for — ’cause a winged creature is now dead after it got absolutely rocked by a ball.
The sad moment went down on the 12th hole at Lancaster Country Club … when cameras captured the participant’s approach shot.

As the ball came down from the sky, a bird was just chilling on the green … and unfortunately, it was the worst case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
The TV announcers addressed the lowlight … saying, “And on our list of bizarre things that we have seen on the 12th hole, I mean, this one’s kind of sad, takes the cake — bird sitting on the green, minding its own business.”
“Brutal.”
Now there’s some speculation the bird was just stunned and not RIP’d … but probably not.
A staffer was tasked with removing it from the green … picking it up and holding it with his bare hand as he strolled off the course.
It’s like Randy Johnson all over again.
Rest in tweet.
