“A lot of people, they think that the ball came over multiple fairways. No, this one, it was my own buddy. I ain’t going to name any names. He feels terrible, but he needs to know that I’m good,” Brown said. “I went to the hospital… I had a split ear and some swelling… it was about a 150 to 180 mile an hour ball, a three-wood slice… We already hit our drives… I’m just glad I’m here.”
Brown’s wife, Katelyn, shared more details on Wednesday.

“This wasn’t a golf ball that had been flying through the air and had been losing momentum. He was right off the side from it,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday. “It could have been so much worse.”
“We got great news after his CT scans — nothing internally, no skull fractures — this was just all basically external with a minor concussion. We were so relieved.”
