VIDEO: Steven Bowditch errant tee shot causes broken nose

Golf spectators are braver than they get credit for, and a viewer at the Australian Masters has proof of that in the form of a broken nose.

On Friday at Huntingdon Golf Club in Melbourne, Steven Bowditch rocketed a drive off the 11th tee well off line and in the range of the crowd.

Unfortunately, the inaccurate tee shot struck a spectator square in the face. The onlooker immediately collapsed to the ground, and it was later learned that he had suffered a broken nose from the strike.

Here's video of the gruesome action:

According to the Daily Mail Australia, the man's nose was re-broken afterward in order to set it back.
