Scott McTominay, a prominent member of the Manchester United football team, found himself in a rather amusing situation while attending the golf tournament in Dubai last week with his girlfriend, Cam Reading. The couple participated in the Dubai Desert Classic, where they witnessed Rory McIlroy make history by securing the prestigious title for the fourth time at the Majlis course at Emirates Golf Club.
During the event, the couple had an unexpected encounter when a stray golf ball struck Cam in the back. Although the individual responsible for the mishap remains unknown, the incident was taken in good humour, and fortunately, no injuries were sustained. Following the event, the couple took to Instagram to share a light-hearted post about the unusual turn of events.
In a post shared on social media, McTominay expressed his surprise, stating, “We’re going to have to get out of the way here. This is not good.” Cam also recounted the surprising moment, adding, “We were just sat here having a nice little conversation and then suddenly a bang happened over there and it [the ball] just bounced over and hit my back and then landed underneath my bum.”
The Scotland international couldn’t help but see the humour in the situation, remarking, “You can’t actually write the script for that.” Despite the lighthearted moment, McTominay is gearing up to return to the pitch for an upcoming FA Cup tie against Newport County, under the management of Erik ten Hag.
It’s heartening to see such a positive and good-natured response from both McTominay and Cam, especially considering the unexpected nature of the incident. Their ability to laugh off the situation serves as a reminder that even when things don’t go as planned, maintaining a sense of humour can make all the difference.
As McTominay continues to showcase his talent on the football field, it’s evident that he also possesses the ability to handle unexpected situations with grace and good spirits. Here’s wishing him and his girlfriend all the best as they navigate the unpredictable nature of attending sporting events, and we can only hope that their future outings will be free from any flying golf balls.
