During Friday afternoon's rainy second-round action in Northern Ireland, the NBC crew of Dan Hicks and Kevin Kisner were literally ducking for cover when a bat found its way into their booth. Thankfully for all of us, the cameras were rolling as Hicks and Kisner attempted to shoo the creature away.

A bat got into the TV tower at the 2025 British Open. Mike Tirico and company had a good laugh at John Hicks' and Kevin Kisner's reaction.

As it circled over their heads, Hicks did his best to thwart it, flailing his hands around and laughing it off. Kisner, meanwhile, sunk deep into his chair. Then he took his sport coat and hid underneath it. Just as we all would:

First it was a wild bat invading the booth that sent Dan Hicks and Kevin Kisner ducking for cover. Then on-course reporter Smylie Kaufman apparently experienced some technical difficulties which led to him dropping an expletive on an unexpectedly hot mic.

The PGA Tour star and "proud hunter" wanted absolutely nothing to do with an errant bat that found its way into their tower during the second round of the British Open on Friday at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Kisner dove down under the table and whipped his jacket over his head in an apparent effort to just wait out the invasion.
