Wyndham Clark saw his Open Championship first round thrown into chaos by the unlikeliest of enemies: an iPad.
Bogey-free and two-under par, June’s US Open champion had been cruising around Royal Liverpool on Thursday before he stepped up to the 14th tee, a 452-yard par four. Trouble brewed immediately as the American’s drive went sailing right and long over the fairway, but things went from bad to worse when the ball ricocheted into a spectator’s iPad, settling in a tuft of long grass. An unfortunate break, but Clark’s nightmare was only just beginning.
“A little unfortunate off the tee, obviously, hitting the guy is never good, but it really went into a bad spot,” Clark told reporters. “If I didn’t hit the guy, probably would have been in fine grass and I would have been able to hit it up near the green. “Getting up-and-down and making about a 20-footer really is a round saver because you make double there, you probably still birdie the next one, maybe, maybe not … making that putt made me feel like I regained the momentum.
