Cameraman Struck by Mackenzie Hughes’ Tee Shot at Truist Championship

The unhurt staffer’s deflection sent the ball onto the green, highlighting on-course safety.

Overview

  • Mackenzie Hughes hooked a tee shot Saturday during the third round at Quail Hollow and, despite shouting “fore,” it struck a PGA Tour cameraman on the head.
  • Broadcasters identified the cameraman as Gary, who stayed on his feet and said, “I’m good.”
  • The carom redirected the ball onto the par-3 13th green, allowing Hughes to two-putt for par.
  • Hughes went straight to Gary to check on him, shook his hand, and gave him a signed glove.
  • Hughes signed for a 2-over 73 to sit 6 over and tied for last, and the incident followed last week’s Nick Taylor drive that hit a fan at the Cadillac Championship.
