Wyndham Clark freak mishit hits camera man from 10 yards: WATCH

A Wyndham Clark mishit during Friday’s second round of the PGA Championship created a shocking moment as his ball hit a video camera held by a spectator by about 10 yards, narrowly missing several others.
Based on the PGA’s online leaderboard, the time came on the left side of the 11th hole at Aronimink Golf Club just outside of Philadelphia, with Clark’s second shot. An 11-second video of the incident was posted to TikTok by @abbiebrackin1 around 5 pm ET, and can be viewed below.
As seen in the video, about 50 people stood around Clark and his caddy as he hit his ball on the green lie. The people to Clark’s right were about 5 yards away, and the people to his left were less than that. After Clark made contact with the ball, the ball went to his left and appeared to hit the lens of a spectator’s video camera 10 yards away.
The impact startled those around the person holding the camera. The little girl on the man’s right crouched down after the collision, then turned to the camera to record what happened. The man on the girl’s right stepped back. No one appeared to be injured. The ball bounced off the camera to the left.
In the video posted, many opinions are heard.
“Is everyone okay?”
“Or hit the camera?”
“It was a camera.”
“Oh my God.”
Clark, who won the 2023 US Open, will not play at the PGA this weekend after missing the cut. Since Friday night, he has not written any comments about the incident on social media.
