WATCH: Bryson DeChambeau hits a spectator with his first shot at Ryder Cup

Bryson DeChambeau struck a lady in the ankle with his first shot at the Ryder Cup in the Afternoon Fourballs. 

DeChambeau unleashed a drive to the left of the green at the reachable par-4 1st hole, and his ball unfortunately clattered into a lady's ankle.

It can't be certain whether DeChambeau shouted 'FORE!' or not given the noise of the crowd.

To DeChambeau's credit, he made a remarkable up-and-down for birdie to halve the opening hole.

He also gave the lady a signed ball as an apology. 

1 swing, 1 spectator struck. Bryson's Ryder Cup has begun.

DeChambeau missed out on the morning foursomes on day one but was sent out for the afternoon fourballs alongside Scottie Scheffler to face Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton.

Hey @b_dechambeau that's not what they meant when they said, "Go out there a break a leg Bryson"#RyderCupUSA #RyderCup2021 #rydercupeurope pic.twitter.com/d37w9yfXRy

Do you really think she was gonna jump up and run for cover? He should obviously shout “fore” but it ain’t gonna change much with crowds. It’s a lot different than alerting an unsuspecting player a fairway over at the Country Club.
