After surviving a real-life nightmare, American golf prodigy Amari Avery has Australian Gabriela Ruffels to thank for being in the thick of the mix at the US Women's Open in Wisconsin.
Avery had to borrow Ruffels' clubs for the second round following a frightening midnight mix-up after an intruder tried to break in to her rental home near Milwaukee.
The 20-year-old former junior world champion was forced to hastily pack up all her gear in the middle of the night and book into a hotel.
