Kylie Kelce spent the day following her husband as he played golf at the American Century Championship – but was also there for adoring fans of hers.

Video captured a moment where she was greeted by a trio of young girls – two wearing sweatshirts that said ‘Go Taylor’s Boyfriend’ and one that wore a Kelce jersey – which Kylie complimented.

The mother of the kids mentioned that they played field hockey – the sport that Kylie played while in college.

After giving the girls some advice about the sport, Kelce took pictures with about four more groups before moving on down the course.

Kylie’s brother-in-law, Travis Kelce, made a number of on-course mistakes during the amateur round – including hitting a number of shots into the Lake Tahoe crowd.

One of those shots left a 20-something woman bloodied and in need of medical attention, according to People. Footage of the incident has not surfaced online.

Taylor Swift‘s boyfriend was on the 16th hole at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course when his drive struck the woman in the back of her head. One eyewitness told People that streaks of blood could be seen in her blonde hair.

Kelce did make the long walk into the crowd to check on her, and later joked that taking a picture with the woman was the least he could do. His brother and tournament rival, Jason, also checked on the woman, who reportedly said she was unsure which of the two Kelce brothers actually hit the errant shot.

Paramedics rushed to the scene to treat the woman, who remains unidentified. She was ultimately able to stand on her own after several minutes of sitting on the ground. Staff transported her off the course and play quickly resumed.

Spokespeople for the course and tournament did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com’s request for further information.

Kelce ended his first round tied with legendary pitcher Roger Clemens and SNL alum Colin Jost in 62nd place, which is a major departure from 2023 when he won the tournament.

Interestingly, Travis offered Jason some prescient advice on the event during a recent podcast episode.

‘This is my first time out in Lake Tahoe, do you have any advice?’ Jason asked Travis on an episode of New Heights.

‘My advice would be don’t feel bad if you hit somebody because they bought the ticket,’ Travis joked.

‘It’s a bunch of amateurs out there trying to play golf so don’t feel bad,’ Travis continued. ‘People have been hit before. They got EMTs, whatever it’s called, they got right there at every hole. Everybody will be fine.’

Turns out Travis was right.

Not only did he hit the aforementioned woman, but a Kelce tee shot also went into the crowd on the first hole, where it hit a man in the arm.

A video posted on X shows Kelce marching down the course with a sheriff before locating the fan who got hit by his shot. Upon meeting the gentleman dawning and bright blue button down, Kelce proceeded to shake his hand before leaning in to kiss his arm.

The apologetic gesture was met by laughs and cheers from the crowd at Edgewood Tahoe Resort.
