The US Women’s Open took a frightening turn on Friday, when America’s Amari Avery had to escape her rental home after someone attempted to break in.
The 20-year-old, who only turned professional last year, was then forced to play with someone else’s clubs because her boyfriend accidentally took hers back to California.
Avery was tied for 29th when play was suspended due to darkness towards the end of Friday’s second round.
That capped a crazy 24 hours for the American who, according to the Golf Channel, was the victim of an attempted break-in overnight on Thursday.
She had been staying in a rental home with her boyfriend when the couple were forced to grab all their possessions and leave for a hotel in the middle of the night.
But then came more chaos. Avery and her boyfriend, USC golfer Gavin Aurilia, have the same golf travel bag and he accidentally took the wrong one when he flew back to Los Angeles on Friday morning.

The 20-year-old was forced to play the US Open second round with Gabriela Ruffels’ clubs
It meant Avery was forced to use Gabriela Ruffels’ bag and clubs after the Australian had finished her second round earlier on Friday.
It’s said Avery didn’t even have a hat to wear out on the course and so was forced to take one of Ruffels’ head before teeing off.
Thankfully, Avery is set to have her own equipment back on Saturday, after her boyfriend’s mom flew the clubs back to Wisconsin.
Remarkably, despite all the chaos, the 20-year-old was level par through 16 holes of her second round. She is one-under-par for the tournament – seven shots off the lead at the time of writing.
On Thursday, meanwhile, Charley Hull appeared to lose patience with Lexi Thompson during an awkward opening round of the tournament.
The English star, who went viral for smoking on the course at last year’s event, has previously been outspoken about slow play.
And Hull appeared to take issue with the American as early as the opening hole on Thursday.
A clip, which was posted to social media, showed Hull waiting as Thompson stood over a putt. As the American went through her meticulous pre-shot routine, Hull could be seen letting out a huge sigh.
By the time Thompson was putting on the eighth green, Hull had already headed to the ninth hole, where she sat down near the tee.
Later, Hull began making her way down 18 before Nelly Korda and Thompson had finished hitting their tee shots.
