ISI GABSA killed a bird with her tee shot in a horrific moment at the US Women's Open.

The German golfer hit her shot on the par three 12th hole and hit the green.

However, it was not the only thing the ball hit as it struck a bird on the green before landing.

The ball continued to roll along the green while the bird's lifeless body remained still.

An official was called into action to deal with the bird.

He gently picked up the body and carried it away.

Fans were left in shock on social media as they reacted to a clip of the moment.

One posted: "YIKES - talk about wrong place, wrong time."

A second wrote: "This is horrible. But not her fault."

A third commented: "Ain’t no way."

A fourth joked: "One might call that shot a... birdie."

A fifth said: "What are the chances."

Another added: "Gives new meaning to getting a birdie!"

Gabsa managed to finish the hole with a two-put finish to get par.

It was not the only dramatic moment at the Lancaster Country Club.

Fellow golfer Nelly Korda scored 10 on a par three after hitting the water thrice.

The world No.1 was playing on the same hole that saw the bird die.

However, she struggled to hit her best form as she finished with a septuple bogey.
