**Golf Fan Receives Unforgettable Souvenir at RBC Heritage**
A golf enthusiast experienced a memorable moment at the RBC Heritage tournament on Thursday, which marked the first event since Rory McIlroy achieved his career grand slam by winning his first Masters. Despite the demanding nature of the Augusta competition, several top golfers made their way to the Harbour Town Golf Links in South Carolina.
Among them was Billy Horschel, who found himself in an unexpected situation during his round. On the par-4 10th hole, Horschel’s tee shot veered too far to the right, striking a female spectator in the leg before bouncing back onto the fairway and settling in the rough. Unaware of the incident initially, Horschel learned as he approached his ball that it had hit the woman. In a lighthearted gesture, he signed her leg, and the two shared a warm hug.
This incident was just one highlight of a challenging day for Horschel, who finished with an even-par round and is currently tied for 51st place alongside nine other competitors. Meanwhile, two-time PGA champion Justin Thomas led the field with an impressive 10-under 61, while Russell Henley and the reigning Masters champion Scottie Scheffler trailed by three strokes.
The RBC Heritage is notable for being a signature event without a cut line, allowing Horschel the opportunity to improve his standing in the upcoming rounds.
