O'Meara reveals his most embarrassing moment

Mark O’Meara reveals he once knocked himself out while practicing on the driving range

Mark O’Meara has revealed he once knocked himself out while practicing on the driving range!

The 1998 Champion Golfer of the Year told of his unfortunate mishap in the latest episode of our ‘Locker Room With…’ series.

O’Meara said: “When I was a young man I was hitting balls on the driving range I wasn’t hitting them very good.

“I had this pile of balls right next to the golf cart and I was hitting them so poorly I was getting upset. I said to myself that sooner or later, if I don’t hit one good - anything could happen.

“Well, I didn’t hit a very good one on the next shot…I hit the whole pile! I woke up about 15 minutes later flat out on the ground. One of the balls had hit the tyre, ricocheted and hit me in the head and knocked me out! I’d say that was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life.”
