Swarm of bees cause chaos at Mexico Open as golf stars forced to hit deck

A swarm of bees temporarily stopped play at the Mexico Open on Thursday, forcing stars to suddenly get on ground and avoid any stings.

During the first day of the PGA Tour 's latest stage at Vidanta Vallarta in Jalisco, players, caddies and cameramen were seen hilariously hitting the deck as bees flew over the course. South African golfer Erik van Rooyen, 33, was preparing to hit his approach shot when he spotted a wave of oncoming insets.

The bees couldn't been seen on camera but someone was heard shouting: "Bees, bees, bees, bees," as Van Rooyen quickly laid on his knees and crouched down. A cameraman then ran to the side of the fairway, ducking down alongside the rest of the 33-year-old's group which included Francesco Molinari and Chez Reavie.
