It was a rough final round for Italy’s Francesco Laporta at the BMW PGA Championship. It was a painful round for his swing coach.

An errant Laporta shot at the par-4 13th struck Pietro Consenza on the left side of his head. Laporta’s coach was treated by medical personnel and bandaged. He was noticeably bleeding underneath the wrapping, but Consenza stayed to watch his student finish.
