Intrepid golfer bitten by black widow spider, stabs herself with golf tee to squeeze the poison out

Are you this tough?

Daniela Holmqvist, a rookie LPGA golfer competing in the Australian Open, was bitten by a black widow spider dangling above her sock line on the fourth hole of the Royal Canberra Golf Club Tuesday. According to Golf Digest, Holmqvist quickly swatted the spider away before doubling over in pain.

With no medics in sight, Holmqvist took the situation into her own hands, stabbing a nearby golf tee into the wound to open up enough space to squeeze the venom out.

"A clear fluid came out," Holmqvist told Svensk Golf. "It wasn't the prettiest thing I've ever done, but I had to get as much of it out of me as possible."

After consulting an official, Holmqvist continued playing in spite of "severe pain." She finished the round with a 74, which disqualified her from the tournament.

"I got a little dizzy and it stings a lot but I think I'm alive," Holmqvist tweeted later.
