Almost a birdie.

Tiger Woods sure made an Egyptian goose think twice about his stroll down the fairway at the Honda Classic on Sunday.

In the final round, with Woods in contention, he hit a driver on the par-4 eighth hole. As the ball bounded down the fairway, it came behind the bird, causing it to stumble as it rolled past. The goose returned to its feet and continued on as the ball hopped closer to the center of the fairway.

No animals were harmed in the filming of this golf tournament.

Woods finished the tournament in 12th at even par. Justin Thomas won the event, defeating Luke List in a playoff, at 8-under par. It was Thomas’ seventh win in his last 31 events.
