While the players of the open championship fought in the rain during the second round of major Friday, the broadcasters were fighting a bat.
A bat entered the NBC transmission tower, and Dan Hicks and Kevin Kisner, the speakers in the stand, had very different, but hilarious reactions.
When the bat entered the stand, both speakers were covered.
But his reactions to invading bat could not have been more different. Hicks began to shake his hands wildly as if trying to scare the bat.

Hicks also laughed at hysteria as he stirred his hands when the bat entered the tower.
Kisner, on the other hand, slowly sank into this chair and was almost out of the sight of the camera. While sliding in his seat, he pulled his sports coat from the back of the chair and put it on his head to protect himself from the bat.
Mike Tirico, who narrated the repetition that showed the chaos, closed to Kisner for his reaction.

“Kevin Kisner, this is a man who is a proud hunter. He is under his jacket. He is scared by this bat,” said Tyric.
While Hicks and Kisner may have been disturbed by the bat temporarily, at least they were under the rain. Throughout the morning and afternoon, the weather has fluctuated sometimes even downpours.
