Tara Davis-Woodhall gives 1-word response to Caitlin Clark launching ball into the crowd at LPGA Pro-Am at The Annika

Reigning long jump Olympic champion Tara Davis-Woodhall shared her response to Indiana Fever standout Caitlin Clark sending the golf ball into the crowd. Clark recently made an appearance at the esteemed Annika Pro-Am event in Florida.

The 22-year-old WNBA sensation attended the Annika Pro-Am at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida, and tried her hand at golf on Wednesday, November 13. The annual tournament is organized to honor the legacy of Swedish legend Annika Sörenstam, who holds the record for the most wins by a female golfer, at 96. With a purse of $3.25 million, the event features some of the best female golfers in the world.

Just before participating in the event, Clark mentioned that her main goal was to avoid hitting anyone outside of the ropes. She said:

However, her wish did not quite age well as one of her shots resulted in an errant tee that flew into the crowd. However, the Fever guard nailed the shot in her second attempt and impressed the crowd. Just Women Sports shared the video of the moment on their Instagram account, writing:

"She’s just like us."

The video was later reposted by Tara Davis-Woodhall on her Instagram story, accompanied by the caption:

"Screaming"
