Things to Avoid as a Tour Pro: Hitting Your Girlfriend With Your Drive Edition

THIS WAS AWKWARD. PLAYING IN LAST week’s Genesis Open, Thomas Pieters of the European Tour hit an errant drive, losing it to the right at Riviera Country Club. Pieters’ ball ended up in the rough, but not before hitting a spectator in the back. His girlfriend.

Judging from the below video clip, the couple will weather this unfortunate incident.

It’s not everyday you witness a pro golfer @thomaspietersgolf hit his girlfriend off the tee with his drive. Hope Eva is OK!!!
