Fight breaks out at Wichita Open qualifying event at Sand Creek Station in Newton [View all]


Find your own ball #%$%#...



"WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - A Wichita Open qualifying event at Newton’s Sand Creek Station drew national attention Monday for reasons unrelated to the quality of play. A golf blog called The Firepit Collective was the first to report on a fight that broke out between two players. That fight led to an arrest.

Eyewitness News is working to confirm details within the report. So far, The Firepit Collective reports the fight was between two players during the middle of a qualifier for the Korn Ferry Tour’s Wichita Open. The report said the fight was over one player not helping the other look for a lost golf ball. USA Today picked up on the report, which is catching steam on social media.

The report says a player named Austin Dailey hit a wayward shot and couldn’t find his ball. Then, it says, another player and the player’s father, both in the group, didn’t help look for the ball when a third player did. The blogger reports Dailey approached Luke Smith and Smith’s father, telling them that helping to look for errant shots might speed up the group. The Smiths then allegedly began to yell at Dailey about his play and as Dailey walked away, Luke Smith reportedly jumped on Dailey and started to punch him."
