While playing on the fourth hole at the pre-qualifier for the ISPS Handa Australian Open she had a ball go in the rough, on Tuesday.
After knocking the ball out of the rough, she felt a pain on her leg, just above her sock line.
Her caddie saw a spider on her leg and told her she had just been bitten by a black widow.
Medics were called, but Holmqvist took matters into her own.
She used one of her golf tees to remove the venom.
"It was the only thing I had handy. A clear fluid came out. It wasn't the prettiest thing I've ever done, but I had to get as much of it out of me as possible."
Under the supervision of medics the twenty-four year old then continued on to finish the Royal Canberra Golf Club course.
Though she didn't advance, she won in a completely different way.
