Caitlin Clark narrowly avoids fan disaster with Pro-Am shot and Nelly Korda feared the worst
Caitlin Clark’s worst fears almost came true on the golf course on Wednesday.
The WNBA star is competing in a Pro-Am at Pelican Golf Club in Florida ahead of The Annika, alongside Nelly Korda and tournament host Annika Sorenstam.
“I’ve tried to practice as much as I can,” Clark said a day before her highly-anticipated appearance.
“I’m just the average golfer. I’m going to hit some good, I’m going to hit some bad.”
Unfortunately for Clark, she began with a bad, rather than good shot off the tee.
Footage shows the Indiana Fever star almost wiping out a group of fans.
Her powerful swing sent the ball off to the left of the box, and it narrowly missed spectators who were forced to duck out of the way.
Clark’s shot drew audible gasps from the crowd, which soon turned to laughter – and a bit of relief – when it became clear that no one was hit.
