“It was a drive off the 18th, full toss, it didn’t bounce,” Ineson told the Daily Telegraph.
“I heard the shout of 'fore' and everyone ducked. I saw my mate duck and then it hit me right on the back of the head.”
Australian Scott went to check on Ineson and gave him a signed glove by way of an apology.
The message on the glove read: "Sorry mate."
