Olympic snowboarder Torah Bright slices her tee shot straight at a cameraman during a charity hole-in-one event at the Australian Open

Snowboarder Torah Bright showed her sporting talents are saved for the mountains after a moment to forget in a charity golf event at the Australian Open.

The 2010 Winter Olympic gold medallist was among a number of celebrities competing in the Tag Heuer Hole in One Challenge at Royal Sydney Golf Club, where she proved her golfing ability isn't a patch on her snowboarding talents.

Bright shanked her tee shot right of her target, seeing her effort smash in to the leg of an unsuspecting cameraman stood just a few metres away.

The Australian saw the funny side and burst in to laughter, before running to check on the damage her shot caused.

Thankfully the cameraman was left with no serious injury, although Bright and fellow contestant Kerri-Anne Kennerley were on hand to provide him with some much-needed attention.
