Probably changed into fresh drawers before he climbed back up there though.

Seriously though, he was very lucky.

I spoke with Brian the next night at LPS and he said that was the hardest hit he has ever taken in the flagstand. Very happy neither Brian or Jamie were injured. They were both very lucky.

At the very least that stand should be open on the back for a quick exit.

...And still not a hair out of place. What a trooper!

Give the people who built that stand some credit too-it took a whale of a shot and didn't go down. That was a BIG part of keeping Brian safe.
