RYDER CUP 2010: The moment Tiger Woods's challenge at Celtic Manor was halted... by a photographer | Mail Online

According to nikonrumors "The flying golf ball was captured with a Nikon D3s + 24-70mm lens @ 1/1000sec."

The real question is.......did he have a UV filter on, and is the lens ok? That would be a great way to prove it once and for all. If that lens took a golf ball from Tiger Woods and is still useable with no UV filter, I don't think there can be anymore definitive of proof than that.

Am I the only one who thinks it's funny that the photographer's name is Mark Pain?

The weirdest thing is he is wearing a wig and a fake mustache.
