PGA Championship marshal shares his ‘scary’ experience after nearly being struck by Wyndham Clark’s flying Titleist driver on the 16th tee at Quail Hollow Club.
Clark, 31, saw red after sending an errant tee shot into the bunker on the par-4 16th.
As his ball was sailing into the sand, Clark threw his driver viciously behind him and into a sponsor’s board.
Clark’s driver head flew off his shaft following impact with a Corebridge Financial sign.
Just behind that board was an on-course marshal holding up a flag to inform spectators where the ball was headed.
The marshal – by the name of Chris Deiulio – has since taken to X / Twitter to reveal just how close he came to being struck by Clark’s driver.
“I’m the marshal holding the flag. Scared me to death,” tweeted Chris, with a photo of Clark’s driver head having ripped a hole in the board in front of him.
Clark’s shocking temper led a number of golf fans to consider the 2023 U.S. Open champion should have been DQ’d from the US PGA.
Clark went on to make a bogey on the 16th – his second in a row – and he signed for a final round of 3-over 74.
It saw him finish T50 on 4-over par.
Clark has endured a tough run of form on the PGA Tour this season with just one top 10.
He was last year up to third in the OWGR but he now looks on from 20th.
Clark is a three-time winner on the PGA Tour.
His last victory dates back to the weather-shortened AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February 2024.
