Caitlin Clark Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) reacts to a call Friday, Sept. 13, 2024, during a game between the Indiana Fever and the Las Vegas Aces on Friday, Sept. 13, 2024, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Caitlin Clark is used to dominating her opponents when she competes. That dominance typically comes in basketball. She took her talents to the golf course to compete in an LPGA-sponsored pro-am on Wednesday. Unfortunately, it became apparent quickly that she was an amateur.

Clark hit an errant shot off the tee that almost drilled a spectator. Clark apologized and was forced to take a mulligan and retry.

Fans reacted on social media to Clark’s mistake.

“People really be risking it standing there along the tee box for anyone who isn’t a professional golfer,” one fan said on Twitter.

“Why people stand that close to amateur golfers is baffling, you would need to give me Leonidas’s shield from 300 to stand there,” one fan added.
