Wyndham Clark was left pretty disappointed by his poor bunker shot. He spoke to the media after his first round of play and explained the entire scenario. He said as quoted by Golf Week,
"That was huge. A little unfortunate off the tee, obviously hitting the guy is never good, but it really went into a bad spot. If I didn't hit the guy, probably would have been in fine grass, and I would have been able to hit it up near the green. Then I had an awful lie and hit it about two feet. Then got very fortunate I didn’t go in the bunker."
However, Clark clarified that the ball hit the fan's iPad. He said,
"Yeah, it hit his iPad, didn’t hit him. Well, I don't care now. It screwed me up."
