Lydia Ko was standing on the ninth fairway at the CME Group Tour Championship on Friday when her bag was blown over by a gust of wind that landed on top of her ball.
Ko checked the rules and was not penalized because the ball was moved by “external influence.” Ko was able to change the ball and make a par on the hole.

The par helped end a skid of three bogeys in the six-hole stretch. After opening with a 67 and birdieing the first hole of Round 2, Ko fell to 3-under par for the tournament — and four off the lead — on the tour.
