Hideki Matsuyama narrowly avoided disaster during the first round of the Sony Open when his driver flew out of his hands toward some fans.

On the ninth hole at the Sony Open in Hawaii, the former Masters champion hit an iffy tee shot, but it was his driver that ended up being the truly errant projectile. Matsuyama lost grip of the club on his follow through, sending it into the observers' area.

Hideki Matsuyama accidentally hit his driver into the crowd while playing at the Sony Open in Hawaii. The Japanese golfer teed off at the ongoing PGA Tour event this week.

Matsuyama won The Sentry on Sunday with a 35-under-par 257, the lowest 72-hole score in relation to par in PGA Tour history.
