Brenda, wife of American golf legend Mark Calcavecchia (66), was attacked by her pet dog and urgently transported to a hospital.

The UK's 'The Sun' reported on the 27th (Korea time) that "Calcavecchia posted a photo of his wife Brenda lying in a hospital bed on his social media (SNS). In the photo, Brenda has deep wounds on her face."

Calcavecchia said, "Our pet Jack Russell Terrier named 'Lucy' bit my wife's face while she was sleeping. We went to the emergency room at Brivarde Hospital to have the wounds stitched up, and the situation is not good." He conveyed the urgency of the situation at the time. It remains unknown how the pet dog was disposed of after the incident.

This incident occurred just over a month after Calcavecchia was ejected from the Augusta National Golf Club, adding to the tragedy. The 66-year-old was kicked out of the tournament site last month for violating the strict "no use of Daejeon" rule at the Masters Tournament. Despite having walked the Masters course 18 times during his playing career, the veteran could not avoid the application of the organizers' rules.

In an interview with 'Golfweek' regarding the incident at the time, Calcavecchia expressed his displeasure, saying, "I don't want to say anything bad about Augusta National or the Masters, so I'm going to hang up the phone right now."

Meanwhile, Mark Calcavecchia is a legendary golfer with 13 career wins on the U.S. PGA Tour. In particular, he gained worldwide fame after winning the Claret Jug, the trophy for The Open Championship (British Open) held at Royal Troon in 1989, defeating top stars of the era Greg Norman and Wayne Grady in a grueling playoff.

He also represented the United States four times in the Ryder Cup, the golf competition between the U.S. and Europe (1987, 1989, 1991, 2002), establishing himself as a flagship star of American golf. Known for his unique aggressive playing style, he has attracted many fans and continues his playing career on the senior stage, the PGA Tour Champions.
