Kelly Kraft lasted only two rounds at the RBC Heritage tournament this weekend. He missed the cut partly because of interference by a bird.

On the par-three 14th hole, Kraft's first shot hit a bird in midair and landed in the water right in front of the green. He settled for a double bogey and carded a 72 in the second round, leaving him one-over par for the tournament and one shot over the cut line.
