The Valspar Championship had a stoppage in play on Saturday when a young girl was hit by a golf cart, and Brooks Koepka, back on the PGA Tour after defecting to LIV Golf, sprang into action. 

Koepka was spotted running over to the girl to comfort her after she ended up underneath the golf cart, which was moving around spectators. At the time, Koepka was playing the par 3 15th hole. 

NBC Sports broadcaster Dan Hicks said the girl ended up under the golf cart, but did not suffer serious injury.

"She’s going to be OK after medical evaluation," walking reporter Smylie Kaufman said over the air. "Very scary moment."

Koepka, who heads into the final round on Sunday tied for 13th with a 5-under score, spoke about the incident after his Saturday round. 

"I just felt terrible for, I believe her name is Shay, so from all the reports you’ve got she’s OK, thankfully," Koepka said, according to Golf.com. "So, that’s all that matters, as long as she’s OK."

Koepka added that he thought she was "probably a little scared."

"I just felt for her at the time. So, it’s unfortunate, it shouldn’t have happened, but as long as she’s OK, no, nothing crazy happened to her, then it will be OK."

Koepka said the moment didn’t affect him once he got back to play on the course.
