If he was European he had to set out by boat.
Which would have been possible. Polynesia was colonized about the same time. In 9000 BP the Earth was already much warmer and with Island hopping (British Isles, Iceland, Greenland, New Foundland) it would have easely been possible for humans to reach America. It could have been fishers who lived on Iceland and got off course (as deepseafishing was practised according to some historians).
No in 9000 BP it would have been possible to reach America from Europe I think.
