That’s gonna leave a mark.

ESPN reporter Sage Steele was struck in face by Jon Rahm tee shot at the PGA Championship. Steele was in a media gallery when Rahm’s tee shot went wide left. According to reports, Sage was bleeding profusely from her face, but as of now there doesn’t seem to be any pics of her injury.

Via NY Post:

“Golf writer Geoff Shackelford described an account from an eyewitness who “saw her on the ground, holding her nose, mouth or chin area,” with her hands “covered in blood.” A source told The Post she walked off under her own power.

Shackelford saw the Rahm shot — which traveled 281 yards at 181 mph, per the ESPN broadcast — go awry.

“I was standing behind the tee when Rahm hit a hard hook into the left trees. He immediately yelled ‘Fore Left!’ and aggressively waved his arm pointing left,” he wrote. “The impact must have been brutal: Rahm’s tee shot ended up in the center of the fairway.”

Golf balls have been known to hit a person from time to time.

Steele reportedly won’t be on ESPN’s coverage for the rest of the week.

She’s get a Mulligan on this one for sure.
