Wise was preparing to play in the tournament, when he woke up to find that his car had been broken into and his clubs were gone. The golfer was playing at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio on the 27th of June. Following this, he returned to his hotel and kept his golf clubs in his car at the hotel. The next day when he woke up and went to get his clubs, he found out that they were gone!
