Kenny Pigman was hit by Bryson DeChambeau’s errant shot
DeChambeau apologised to Pigman over the incident
DeChambeau was believed to have been taking his second shot on the 17th, but he hit it way off target.
A call of ‘fore’ went up to alert bystanders of the wayward ball, causing Pigman to duck.
And it was lucky he did as the ball struck his back – it could have otherwise hit him on the head.
The American looked baffled as he tried to figure out where the ball had come from.
DeChambeau later came over to apologise to his counterpart.
It comes a day after Joel Dahmen hit a fan with an errant shot on the same course.
The golfer apologised by gifting the fan $100 to buy some refreshments.
Meanwhile DeChambeau will hope the incident will not distract him from what has been a superb tournament so far.

The 29-year-old is four under par and leads the USPGA Championship ahead of Scottie Scheffler and Corey Conners.
The Californian showed off his slim figure this week after reportedly shedding the 40 pounds he put on during the Covid-19 pandemic.
DeChambeau, 29, bulked up to add extra power to his swing and prolong his time on Earth.
The golfer started his days with a 2,000-calorie breakfast while maintaining his goal was to “live to 130 or 140.”
Months later, he discovered his body was severely inflamed — and that his diet was actually hurting his hopes for a long and healthy life.

How To
Five Simple Steps to Lower Your Golf Scores
- Start with the right equipment. You will need to purchase quality clubs and balls. You can learn how to play golf by taking lessons. Ask around at your local driving range if you don’t know anyone who plays. You might get a lesson for free, or they may even offer you a free one!
- Practice makes perfect. It’s obvious that practice is key to improving your game. It doesn’t really matter if you are playing with friends or solo; practicing is crucial. You should also keep track of how you progress once you start practicing. Write down everything you do so that you can see where you’re improving and where you still need work.
- Play more. When you first get started, it’s probably going to feel like you’re spending too much money on golfing gear, so you won’t go out nearly enough. When you start to enjoy the game, it will become second nature. Your next step is increasing your play frequency. Try to play three or more times per week (or every day). That means one round of 18 holes during the weekend and two rounds of 9 holes during the week.
- Be sure to eat right. Many people believe that eating breakfast is a way to do their bodies a favor. This isn’t healthy. You should eat something before you leave your house. Ideal is to have a small snack that contains protein, carbohydrates, as well as fat. A light meal containing lean proteins and vegetables can be prepared when you arrive at your course.
- Make sure you drink plenty of fluids. Drinking plenty of fluids can help prevent dehydration which can cause headaches and muscle aches. Hydration is crucial for optimal performance.
