GREENSBORO, N.C. — In the final round of the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club, a ball almost hit a little girl.
Russell Henley, who was the leader heading into the final round, was on hole 12 when his ball dropped right in front of a fan named Ella. She is from Clayton, North Carolina.
Ella described the moment.
"I was scared, and I jumped back," said Ella, who almost got hit with a golf ball. "I almost fell forward. I thought I was going to fall, and then I just got yanked back."
Afterward, she got a signed golf glove from Henley.
The Wyndham Championship was the first PGA Tour event she and her family have attended.
