Who you callin' a monkey?
Luke Donald got chased away from his golf ball by a baboon on the 13th hole of the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa on Friday, and still managed to shoot 63 to take a 2-shot lead going into the weekend.
The former world No. 1 tweeted about it after the round and even posted video of the incident!
Donald even made fun of himself because of his reaction compared to that of his caddie.
Couple of things happened to me that haven't happened in a while....one I shot 63, and two I let a baboon play thru on the course����

December 5, 2014The fact that my caddy Johnnie didn't even flinch, makes my reaction look even more pathetic!!

December 5, 2014ESPN's own Dottie Pepper tried to make Donald feel a little better, replying to his tweet with her own experience with a wild animal on the golf course. Apparently bears aren't scared of Pepper spray either?
@LukeDonald chased by a baboon today brought back memory of '08 US Sr. Open on
@ESPNGolf. "You guys... It's a BEAR!"

December 5, 2014The funniest reply on Twitter to Donald's initial tweet was from golfer Jason Crook (@crookdawg11).
@LukeDonald What did the baboon shoot?
