Caitlin Clark is Surpassingone of the best basketball shooters in the world, but maybe not so much when it comes to golf.
The WNBA star took part in the pro-am of the LPGA’s The Annika on Wednesday, and she had a near disaster when she teed off one of her shots at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida.
She completely shanked the ball and it went right into the crowd of people who were watching her. Fortunately, it didn't appear that anyone was hit, and the Indiana Fever guard responded with a "sorry" that drew laughter from the gallery.
The camera angle from someone in the crowd near where the ball went looked scary, with the shot just barely going over the heads of spectators.
Thankfully no one was injured, but it is hilarious to look back at it, considering Clark said she only had one goal before the tournament: to avoid hitting anyone in the crowd. Looks like she accomplished it − barely.
While the wild shot definitely shows Clark is human, the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year did nail some impressive shots on the day. She had some great tee shots, showed control on approach shots and had skill with the putter.
Clark played with world No. 1 golfer Nelly Korda on the front nine before she partnered with World Golf Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam on the back nine. Clark said she had a good time playing on the course.
"Definitely a fun morning," she said. "Very lucky and fortunate. Hung in there; did all right. It was a good day."
