The golf cart of Maryland’s Karla Elena Vázquez Setzer is pulled out of the water at the Dye Course at the Country Club of Landfall after it rolled in during the Landfall Tradition in Wilmington, North Carolina.
The par-3 second hole on the Dye Course at the Country Club of Landfall is surrounded by water on three sides. Maryland’s Karla Elena Vázquez Setzer knocked her tee shot to 10 feet in winds that were gusting over 35 mph, yet still managed to find the hazard.
As Vázquez Setzer putted out for par during Round 1 of the Landfall Tradition in Wilmington, North Carolina, her push cart – parked on a flat surface roughly 25 yards from the water – went barreling toward Dye Lake.
By the time Vázquez Setzer made it to her golf bag, it was fully submerged. Thankfully, quick-thinking volunteers grabbed rakes from a nearby bunker and held onto the wheels to keep the cart from fully sinking.
Head coach Kelly Hovland’s first thought was that she’d have to try to fish out enough clubs for Vázquez Setzer to be able to carry on. The freshman was, after all, putting together one of the Terps’ best rounds.
