A scary moment unfolded on Saturday during the third round of the Valspar Championship when a little girl was hit by a golf cart.

It happened after Brooks Koepka and his playing partner, Danny Walker, hit their tee shots on the par-3 15th. Koepka ran over and was one of the first people over there, and talked with her as they waited for medical attention.

On the broadcast, Smylie Kaufman confirmed that medical arrived but wasn’t needed, and she was okay.

I’m glad she’s okay, and utterly dumbfounded how that could happen at a PGA TOUR event. Really disappointed with whoever was driving.
