Did he shout fore or couldn't he be arsed? He seems a decent bloke so I'd be surprised if he didn't. The likes of Woods never do.
The reports on the BBC website said that no warning was shouted, but I guess if thousands of fans has cheered at a wayward shot, it may not have been heard anyway?
These players hit the ball a long way and think the person in line to be hit won't hear but as soon as someone shouts fore the instinct is to duck if you're in the vicinity of where the ball is going to land. They or their caddy should just shout it, they're covered then.
You cant hear "Fore" from 300 yards, especially over the noise of the crowd. What the Euro players were doing was holding out the club in their hand to visually warn the crowds which seemed more sensible. It'll be interesting to see if the golfing authorities make a gesture by contributing to her medical costs. When beer was costing €11 and a burger €18 I'm sure they made enough over the 3 days to do so.
You should still shout, it ripples down the crowd before the ball reaches the target. People just instinctively duck if there is a 'fore' in the air. She was probably looking at her phone or some other bird type ****.
