Wise ended up kneeling on the ground with a water bottle placed on his head after the hit ... but he managed to get up after a few seconds.
"There was a little bit of ringing in my head and I was down on the fairway," the 25-year-old golfer said. according to golf reporter Garrett Johnston.
"That lasted for about 20 seconds. Then I felt pretty normal after that."
Talk about TOUGH!!
Wise completed his round 2-over 72 and is one over par in the tournament. Shortly after, he was checked by medical staff and is doing okay.

TikTok Star I Got Vibrator Stuck Up My Butt ... Surgery to Remove It
A TikTok star's pleasure turned into a real pain in the butt, literally -- she says she got a sex toy stuck up there and had to get it surgically removed.
The woman, who goes by the handle @sophzaloafs and lives in the U.K., shared her horror story ... and even posted the X-ray images of a vibrator inside her body.
The TikToker says things got out of hand when she was using the 3-inch toy, and when she couldn't get it out, she sought medical help.
She says she couldn't go to the hospital the night it happened, so she tried sleeping with the vibrator inside ... but the toy continued to buzz throughout the night. As you'd imagine, that made for some serious tossing and turning.
When she finally went to the hospital the next morning, she says doctors struggled to get it out, and the only option was a surgical procedure.
The woman says she awoke from surgery to find her vibrator next to her in a plastic bag ... and to her surprise, the thing still had some battery life!

Awful news ... WWE legend "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan says his cancer has returned -- and both he and his family are "terrified."
The wrestler did add, though, his doctors are "very optimistic that they caught it early."
Duggan had battled the disease for most of 2021 ... needing multiple procedures -- including one in which doctors removed his prostate -- to try to eradicate it. In December, he said medical experts had declared him officially cancer-free.
But, the 68-year-old said in a video message on Sunday that it had returned ... adding, "It's a very terrifying time for me and my family."
Duggan said he's now gearing up to undergo more treatments to try to get rid of the disease ... explaining in his video message he's set to have radiation therapy for eight weeks, five days a week.
"Hacksaw" said doctors are optimistic about the potential results of the treatments, and added they're encouraging him to "go ahead and live life."
"Which we're going to go ahead and do," he said.
"I'm afraid I'm going to make most shows, but some shows, I'm going to have to postpone or cancel," Duggan added. "And, I'm sorry about that, but that's the way it's got to be."
In addition to his 2021 battle with cancer, Duggan also battled the disease in his 40s -- and has dealt with heart problems as well. He did say that fans' support has helped him through it all -- and he's hoping for a similar outcome this year.
"You folks have helped me through an awful, awful lot over the years, many times before," he said. "And, sharing this with you is going to help me get through this. So, thank you."
Get well soon, Jim.

French Montana Loses Dog Bite Suit ... Must Pay Nearly $130k!!!

French Montana just got screwed by his pooch -- because a jury just awarded his pool guy a bunch of money over French's dog biting the man.
A California jury found French's German Shepherd, Zane, was the culprit in the gnarly attack against Juan Lomeli -- the dude who sued FM way back in 2018.
You'll recall ... Lomeli alleged at the time French's pet lost it on him while he was doing his job on the grounds, lunging at him and sinking its teeth into his arm, causing a nasty and painful injury.
Lomeli -- who was represented by attorney Brad Wallace -- testified the injuries were severe enough for him to miss a substantial amount of time working ... which he claimed cost him serious dough he would've otherwise made.
Looks like this case has been working its way through the legal system ... and now, a jury has weighed in -- awarding Lomeli a whopping $129,500 in damages.
Here's how the judgment breaks down -- $39,500 in past economic loss, $60k in non-economic loss (pain/suffering etc.), and another $30k for future non-economic loss.
BTW ... French still has Zane. Maybe it's true -- every dog is entitled to one bite, but this one ain't free.

Sugar Bear's extreme makeover can continue unabated, because we've learned he doesn't have gum cancer ... but he will be getting a tumor removed just to be safe.
We're told SB went to a cancer specialist, Dr. Babak Larian, who performed a biopsy and the results came in Wednesday, revealing a benign tumor on his salivary gland. There's a chance it could turn cancerous, so he'll go under the knife next month to take it out.
TMZ broke the story ... SB was all set for a dental makeover when his dentist discovered 2 small white spots on his bottom gum, sounding an alarm bell. There was reason for concern -- Sugar Bear chewed tobacco for more than 12 years, a habit that caused his teeth to rot.
As for why Sugar's in the process of getting a full makeover? After finalizing his divorce from Jennifer Thompson, he wanted to hit the dating scene looking new and improved!
When it's all said and done, he'll undergo a hair transplant, filler, liposuction, Botox, tummy tuck, a new haircut and a fresh shave. He's also set to get some new chompers, but that's on hold until his mouth totally heals.

Pro Wrestling 'Death Match' Turns Into Bloody Event ... Police Investigating
Two wrestlers in an overseas pro wrestling org. beat the hell out of each other so badly during a match -- they both left the ring soaked in blood ... and now, cops say they are investigating it all.
The gruesome tilt went down on April 29 in an event put on by the Colliery Championship Wrestling org. at the New Seaham Conservative Club in the U.K.
Competitors, Ronnie Thatcher and Blizzard, were headlining the card as the main event ... and roughly 80 people, including children, had seats to the show.
But, as the two were going at it in the ring, they suddenly got ultra-violent with each other -- unexpectedly turning the fight into a "death match."
They brought out weapons, glass, and even a weed whacker -- and straight-up mauled each other so badly they were bleeding from nearly every limb on their bodies.
In fact, one video shows Blizzard slamming Ronnie straight through a piece of wood so badly, that it exploded everywhere.
After the match, the CCW faced heavy scrutiny for the gore ... and an event organizer, James Brass, apologized for it all.
"Things can sometimes not go to plan," Brass said. "Obviously there was a little bit more that went down. I spoke to the two guys afterward. We had discussions and obviously, that will not be happening again."
But, local police clearly feel an apology ain't enough ... 'cause in a statement to media outlets, cops said they are investigating it all.
"We are working with Durham County Council’s licensing team after a number of complaints were received by the local authority in relation to an event at Seaham Conservative Club on April 29," the police said. "Inquiries are ongoing."

WWE Superstar Big E Wears Neck Brace To Wayans Show ... What Broken Neck?!
Big E's broken neck isn't going to stop him from living life ... the WWE superstar hit up Marlon Wayans' comedy show -- wearing his neck brace -- Friday night in Florida.

"Massive thanks to @hardrocktampa for a fun night of hob nobbing. (That sounds filthier than intended…)" E captioned the photo.
The event is worth noting 'cause E recently (March 11) suffered a devastating injury in the ring (well, technically outside of it) when fellow Superstar Ridge Holland dumped the 5'11", 285 lb. star on his head, breaking his neck in the process.
After the belly-to-belly suplex went terribly wrong, E was carted out of the arena on a stretcher, and taken directly to a local hospital for treatment. He ultimately had surgery ... which thankfully went well, according to the wrestler.

Travis Scott, Live Nation Sued for Wrongful Death ... Fan Claims Miscarriage After Astroworld

Breaking News

Travis Scott is among several defendants -- including Live Nation, Scoremore Holdings, ASM Global -- being sued by a woman who claims she suffered injuries so severe at Astroworld, they resulted in a miscarriage.
Shanazia Williamson says she attended Astroworld back in November and was trampled during a crowd surge and sustained injuries to her shoulder, back, chest, leg, stomach and other parts of her body.
In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Williamson says the defendants', "failure to plan, design, manage, operate, staff, and supervise the event was a direct and proximate cause of Shanazia's injuries and death of her and Jarawd's (her partner) unborn child."
Shanazia first filed a lawsuit for injuries she sustained at the festival on November 21, which included, "trouble breathing, chest pain, and left leg pain, as well as injuries to other parts of her body."
In an amended complaint, submitted a month-and-a-half after the tragedy, Shanazia filed for wrongful death. Interestingly, Texas law states ... a fetus that dies as a result of negligence can be the basis of a wrongful death lawsuit. It doesn't matter how far along the mother was in her pregnancy. It could be a fetus that isn't viable, but the parents could still sue for wrongful death.
It's also interesting ... in her amended complaint, Shanazia added the claim that she suffered injuries to her stomach. BTW, the complaint doesn't say how far along she was in her pregnancy.
As you know ... 10 people died as a result of injuries sustained at Astroworld. Travis and his team have maintained they were unaware of the severity of what was happening in the crowd ... others have pointed to apparent lapses in security and safety by event organizers.
