Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level.Thomas Aiken managed to avoid one of the many hazards at the Gary Player Country Club with his drive down the eighth, but the same could not be said of a hapless spectator. Aiken tugged his tee shot and missed the fairway to the left and, as he lined up a tricky second on the toughest hole on the course, he asked a handful of the gallery to move out of his path.The fans duly got themselves out of harms way, but one clearly did not see the danger ahead as he lost his footing and ended up tumbling into a bush next to the cart path.
