The 2026 PGA Championship at Aronimink is already being remembered as a week where spectators needed to bring their A-game—and their hard hats.

Between the blustery winds and the punishing rough thicker than a Philly cheesesteak, it's been a wild ride for fans. On Thursday, Jon Rahm accidentally struck a volunteer with a divot. On Friday, Bryson DeChambeau peppered the galleries with wayward "fore right!" calls. But the most jaw-dropping moment came courtesy of 2023 U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark, who turned a routine mishit into a heart-stopping highlight.

Clark's pull hook sent a screaming line drive straight into a broadcast camera, ricocheting mere inches over the head of fan Abbie Brackin. She captured the near-miss on her phone, and the video shows the ball striking the camera with such force that it actually blew off a piece of the equipment. The before-and-after images of the damaged camera are a sobering reminder of just how dangerous a golf ball can be at close range.

Thankfully, no one was injured—though that camera took one for the team. Given the tricky lie Clark faced, it's a miracle things didn't end worse. The ball sat below his feet on a deceptive upslope, a combination that practically screamed "pull hook." Add in gusty winds and a jumpy lie, and you have a recipe for disaster. In hindsight, someone—whether a volunteer, Clark himself, or his caddie—should have urged fans to step back before he addressed the ball.

Brackin's caption on social media read: "Great shot, I'm OK thanks," a pointed reminder that player awareness matters just as much as spectator vigilance. For those heading to the course this weekend, let this be a lesson: keep your head on a swivel, and don't be afraid to move back. A souvenir is great—a welt in the face is not.
