A college golfer was forced to withdraw from the NCAA championships after a scary injury.

Gregory Solhaug, a junior for Oregon University, stepped on a tee that impaled his foot.

Solhaug was playing in the second round of the tournament at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, when the tee went through his shoe and into his foot.
