Amari Avery set out to perform at the U.S. Women’s Open with high hopes after shooting a 71 on the opening day, landing her in the top-20. However, her day took an unexpected turn when she discovered, upon arrival at the course, that her clubs were not at hand.

The Incident: Thursday night, due to a break-in attempt at her rental property, Avery and her boyfriend had hastily packed their belongings and moved to a hotel. In the rush, Avery’s clubs ended up in her boyfriend’s travel bag, which he took back to Los Angeles the following morning.

In a fortunate twist, after fellow golfer Gabriela Ruffels concluded her round, Avery borrowed Ruffels’ clubs for the second round, which included wearing Ruffels’ visor.

Despite the chaos surrounding her equipment, Avery impressively managed to stay 1 under through 12 holes before play was halted due to bad weather. Her own clubs will be returned Saturday when her boyfriend’s mother brings them back, but her resilience during this unforeseen challenge is noteworthy. Adjusting to a different set of clubs during a major championship is a difficult task, highlighting her skill and adaptability in high-pressure situations.
