PGA Tour pro responds to crying baby during opening tee shot: "I can hear you!"

PGA Tour star Matthieu Pavon reacted hilariously to a baby crying while hitting his opening tee shot during a practice round at the Team Cup.

Pavon, 32, is representing Francesco Molinari's Continental Europe side at this week's DP World Tour team event at Abu Dhabi Golf Resort. 

The Frenchman is making his first appearance in the Team Cup, which was established in 2023. 

Justin Rose is the captain of the GB & Ireland team, which features star players Tyrrell Hatton and Tommy Fleetwood. 

In a video that was shared by the DP World Tour's social media team, we join the clip with a baby crying as Pavon stands over his first shot of a practice round on Thursday.

As it turned out, the baby paused at the perfect possible time as Pavon pulled the trigger. 

After Pavon struck his tee shot down the middle of the fairway, he cupped his ears and turned to the gallery to say: "I can hear you!"

Continental Europe are the defending champions of the DP World Tour's Team Cup having won 14.5-10.5 last season.

Pavon won his maiden DP World Tour title at the 2023 Open de Espana and he then went on to become the first Frenchman to win on the PGA Tour in the modern era with victory at the 2024 Farmers Insurance Open at famed Torrey Pines.

He also went on to represent France at the 2024 Olympics.

Pavon recently sat down with GolfMagic's Ben Smith to talk about his pro career and his signing a new deal with J.Lindeberg.
