Golfer Zanotti ok after golfball KO in Zandvoort
Golfer Fabrizio Zanotti was not seriously injured when he was knocked out in the KLM Open.
The Paraguayan was hit in the head by a golf ball in the first round at the Kennemer in Zandvoort this morning. The incident caused a two hour delay.
According to head of the European Tour, Miguel Vidaor, various neurological tests were done at the hospital and Zanotti responded well.
A swing from the Frenchman Alexandre Kaleka on the 14th hole hit Zanotti exactly on the head. Zanotti was playing on the 16th hole. He was transported by ambulance. Two befriended golfers, Chilean Felipe Aguilar and Argentine Ricardo Gonzales, went to the hospital with Zanotti and have withdrawn from the KLM Open.
