Marc Leishman’s horrible shank from a bunker came so close to hitting another PGA Tour player

I don’t care what you say – golf is a very dangerous game! Danger is lurking around every corner on every course and you could get hurt at any moment!

Ok, I’m having a little fun there because normally golf isn’t a very dangerous game at all, at least physically. Though if you’ve played then you know it can do a lot of damage to you mentally.

Well, in Thursday’s first round of the Wells Fargo Championship at TPC Potomac, PGA Tour veteran Marc Leishman almost took out his playing partner, Corey Conners, with a terrible shank from a greenside bunker.

The second replay in this video below shows Connors’ quick feet.

Who hasn’t hit a shot like that from the bunker?

I’m just glad Conners was paying attention and was able to get out of the way.

Leishman ended up with a triple bogey on the hole, which is also relatable.
