ESPN anchor Sage Steele was, unfortunately, standing in the wrong place at the wrong time during the opening round of the PGA Championship on Thursday.

According to golf writer Geoff Shackelford, Steele was struck by a Jon Rahm tee shot on the third hole during the first round. An eyewitness explained they “saw her on the ground, holding her nose, mouth or chin area” with her hands “covered in blood.”

According to Shackelford, who was standing behind Rahm on the third tee, the Spaniard did yell “fore left” after hooking his tee shot. After striking Steele, the ball ended up in the center of the fairway, indicating that the impact was rather hard.

Steele is on-site at Southern Hills covering the major for ‘SportsCenter.’ When she was hit by Rahm’s shot, she had already concluded her work for the day and was taking the action in as a fan.

Per the New York Post, there was no indication Rahm or his caddie realized what happened in real-time. Rahm’s ball went so far off the fairway, it wasn’t picked up by TV camera. After seeing the ball in the fairway, Rahm likely didn’t think much of it, perhaps thinking his tee shot ricocheted off of a tree.

A source told The Post that Steele walked away on her own power.
