There was a happy ending to a story that started off scary on Saturday at Quail Hollow Golf Club during the third round of the PGA Championship.
Attempting an approach from the greens of the 10th hole, two-time major winner Jon Rahm missed his shot to the left and the ball veered mid-flight into the bystanders, appearing to strike a man on the head before it bounced across the green and into the rough.

Moments later, a a visibly concerned Rahm approached the man, signed one of his gloves and gave it to the man before shaking his hand and embracing him. It was a sincere gesture and one that drew applause from fellow spectators at Quail Hollow in Charlotte.
Rahm is currently 4 under par for the tournament and 2 under par through 13 holes as of this story's publishing. He is three shots away from the strong pace set by leader Si Woo Kim.
