Hours Before the PGA Championship, Tour Pro’s Talent in Turning Misery to Joy Impresses Golf Community: ‘Good Karma’

Excitement is in the air as the much-awaited PGA Championship has commenced. Unfortunately, Tiger Woods won’t be playing in the tournament this year, which has disappointed many fans. However, golf fans were given another reason to be happy by another PGA Tour pro’s bittersweet anecdote.

Accidents are a part of any sport, and golf is no different! With clubs swinging around and balls aimed at long distances, more often than not, someone stands the chance of getting hurt physically. And recently, the PGA Tour star witnessed that firsthand!

PGA Tour pro’s unfortunate hit before the PGA Championship

It looks like PGA Tour Pro Joel Dahmen forgot to shout Fore on the golf course during the practice round of the year’s second major. With a wayward tee shot, he hit a spectator in the calf. Luckily for Dahmen, the man turned out to be a huge fan and did not take the minor injury to heart.

Taking to Twitter, the man, Caleb McGuire (as per his Twitter handle), narrated the incident and its aftermath in a heartfelt manner. Giving a shoutout to Dahmen for bruising his leg, Mr. McGuire explained how the golf pro made it up to him. He asked Caleb how much a beer costs at Oak Hill, to which Caleb responded $17. To the golf fan’s delight, the PGA Tour star pulled out a crisp $100 bill and said, “I got your beers today”. On Twitter too, the golfer showed his humility and retweeted Caleb’s post for his mishit, hoping Caleb enjoyed his bubbly apology!

Caleb also posted three pictures in his post. One showed his leg, which turned a bit reddish due to the hit. In another picture, he and Joel were posing for the camera, all smiles. In the third, they were joined by a friend of Caleb.
