It isn’t daily one will get to interview a soccer legend like Vince Younger, so when a Golf Channel reporter noticed her likelihood, she took it … however there was only one drawback — it wasn’t him!
The cringeworthy confusion all went down on Thursday on the BMW Charity Professional-Am in South Carolina … when Lauren Withrow thought she had grabbed VY out on the course — however as an alternative, nabbed an assistant soccer coach.

Try the video, she confidently spoke to him as if he had been the previous Univ. of Texas celebrity quarterback … and requested him about his golf recreation.
The person she was truly speaking to, although, was Citadel assistant Everette Sands … who tried like hell to get her out of the mess — however Withrow continued to press onward nonetheless.
To his credit score, Sands — who was decked out in Citadel gear — dealt with the scenario in addition to one might regardless of the awkwardness of all of it … answering her query nicely.
The interview mercifully ended after just a few moments … and later, Withrow addressed the scenario on her Instagram and made it clear she hoped to be taught from her mistake going ahead.
Whereas it’s a fairly brutal flub … a silver lining for the reporter is that Younger is, certainly, collaborating within the event. So there’s nonetheless an opportunity she will be able to get him on the mic Friday … though hopefully after at the very least one double take.
