A Vijay Singh tee shot dealt a nasty blow to caddie William Ciplinski, but he has been discharged from hospital ahead of The Open.

Caddie William Ciplinski has been discharged from hospital after being struck on the head by a golf ball at Royal Troon during a practice session for The Open on Tuesday.

Ciplinski, caddying for Open debutant Marco Dawson, required treatment after being hit by a stray tee shot from Vijay Singh at the seventh.

He was admitted to the University Hospital Ayr after being taken away on a golf buggy.

Ciplinski was said to be in a stable condition on Tuesday evening and a hospital spokesperson confirmed to Omnisport on Wednesday that he had been discharged.

The first round of the major gets under way on Thursday.
