Live television faced one of its most awkward moments as NBC producers were forced to scramble during their coverage of the US Open. The incident occurred when the broadcast camera, scanning the crowd for fan reactions, inadvertently captured a couple engaged in shockingly explicit behaviour directly behind the 18th green.
The compromising scene unfolded during the third round of the prestigious tournament at Pinehurst No. 2, leaving commentators utterly lost for words. With no warning, the director executed a swift and abrupt cut back to the golf action, but not before the x-rated moment had been broadcast to millions of viewers.
Social media platform X immediately erupted with reaction, as stunned viewers took to the site to express their disbelief. Many shared clips of the jaw-dropping incident, questioning how the pair believed their very public location was appropriate for such a private act.
The unexpected and raunchy interruption provided a bizarre and unforgettable twist to the day's sporting drama, showcasing the unpredictable perils of live outside broadcasting.
