US EditionBrooks Koepka Helps Young Girl Run Over by Golf Cart at Valspar Championship
Brooks Koepka comforted a young girl injured by a slow-moving golf cart at the Valspar Championship; she sustained no serious injuries, tournament officials said.
- On Saturday, March 21, a young girl was struck and pinned beneath a spectator golf cart at the Valspar Championship's Copperhead 15th hole, and Brooks Koepka, 35, went under the ropes to comfort her.
- A spectator golf cart was carrying fans around the course when the incident occurred, and Valspar Championship spokesperson and Golf Channel said the vehicle was moving very slowly.
- Tournament medical staff quickly assessed the child and found no serious injuries, and play at the hole was delayed for about five minutes before resuming.
- Brooks Koepka told reporters that 'She's OK, thankfully, so that's all that matters,' but he hit a double-bogey on the par-4 16th hole, leaving him seven shots behind lead golfer as observers said he appeared shaken.
- The episode follows a shooting near TPC Sawgrass earlier this month, increasing scrutiny on event safety as authorities identified suspect Christian Barrios, who allegedly shot two people and prompted PGA operational delays.
