Awkward golf video: Thomas Pieters hits his girlfriend with an errant tee shot

Belgian PGA Tour player Thomas Pieters did his best to smooth over an awkward situation last week at the Genesis Open when one of his tee shots hit a spectator, who turned out to be his girlfriend.

It’s made even more awkward by the response of the person who uploaded it to Instagram to which Pieters replies “It’s not awesome”.

When you hit your girlfriend with a drive to improve your lie… #BankShot ➡️ @ThomasPietersGolf’s drive off the tee hit his girlfriend and was met with a cold shoulder… But when you’re Thomas Pieters, the freeze out doesn’t last long #GenesisOpen #ThomasPieters #CallawayGolf #TeamCallaway #NikeGolf #pgatour @d_j_deleon @a_j_ramirez
