Shocking Moment: Snooker Star Mark Williams Left Clutching Face in Agony after Being Struck by Wayward Golf Ball

MARK WILLIAMS will stick to cues, not clubs after being left in agony by a stray golf ball.

The three-time snooker world champion, 49, took to X to reveal CCTV footage of his freak injury.

Williams, 49, was at an indoor golf facility when one of his sons was teeing it up in the bay.

The Welshman has three boys - Connor, Kia,n, and Joel - with Joanne.

But he joked he won't be giving out any more tips after his unfortunate mishap.

In the 21-second video, Williams can be seen instructing his lad to adjust his shoulder position before taking a shot against the screen.

He then lays his club down next to Williams Jr and steps back to watch the shot.

But he could not have prepared for what happened next.

His son's shot flew out of the camera's view as it hurtled past and into the screen.

However, nanoseconds later it reappeared, soaring straight back past the golfer and striking Williams flush in the face.

Williams immediately clutched his face, bent over double, and staggered backward to safety.

His pal - who had flinched out of the way as the ball rebounded - immediately went to check on the snooker star.
