(CNN) --

Between the treacherous, rough greens and changing conditions, players at the 2022 PGA Championship have a lot to think about.

Richard Bland realized during Friday's second round that there is much more to consider, including the local wildlife.

The English golfer posted a video on social media showing a squirrel choosing his golf ball as something to chew on instead of an acorn.

In the video, Bland's ball rolls onto the green only for the squirrel to stop it and roll it before slipping away.

"You know it's not going to be your week when you play a good recovery shot from under the trees and this little fella gets in the way," Bland wrote.

"On top of that. The ball rolls back off the green and doesn't rise or fall #sumstheweekup"

You know it's not going to be your week when you play a good recovery shot from under the trees & this little fella gets in the way 🐿😄 To top it off.

To make matters worse, Bland was unable to move his ball or repeat his shot.

The United States Golf Association rules state: "When your ball in motion is accidentally deflected or stopped, there is no penalty and you will normally play the ball from where you are. This includes when your ball accidentally strikes your body or equipment. ".

The incident summed up the week for Bland, who, after posting rounds of 74 and 76 at the Southern Hills Country Club, finished 10-over-par after the first two rounds and therefore missed the cut.
