Jason Dufner Tees Off and Into Girl's Lap

I couldn't resist posting this. Apparently when professional golfer, Jason Dufner teed off at the Quail Hollow Championship his opening shot landed in the lap of an 18 year old spectator. She was further embarrassed when they had to get an official to come and make a ruling on how the situation was to be played out.

I'm not sure that the official golf rule book has anything on this exact situation, but I think the official made the right call... they placed a marker under the girl's chair and gave Dufner a dropped ball (presumably after the girl and chair were moved out of harm's way).

Dufner ultimately got a bogey on the hole (that's one over par, for you non-golfers out there).
