Golfer hits spectator with driver after launching it into crowd

Golfer Hideki Matsuyama accidentally hit a spectator with his driver after launching it into the crowd at the Sony Open in Hawaii on Thursday, 9 January. The club flew out of the 32-year-old's hands at the start of the ninth hole. The driver hit a rope before it reached two women at the front of the crowd. Matsuyama immediately ran over to the spectator to check they were okay. He finished the day with a 3-under 67 and tied for 26th place in the field.
