A golf fan was struck on the head by a ball in a scary moment at the PGA Championship on Saturday.

Midway through his third round, LIV Golf star Jon Rahm hit an approach on the 11th hole. But the Spaniard pulled his shot towards fans sitting to the left of the green.

One of the spectators cowered in fear but that didn’t stop the ball from cannoning off his head and flying across the green.

Thankfully, the fan appeared to avoid serious injury and Rahm apologized by signing a glove and gifting it to them. They then shared a handshake and a hug.

Only a day earlier, Englishman Aaron Rai came within inches of hitting a fan in another terrifying incident at the PGA Championship.

The world No 29 was taking a shot from the rough during his second round, with a bunch of spectators gathered to his right.

A giant tree stood between Rai and his target and the Englishman attempted to keep the ball low to avoid the overhanging branches.

Unfortunately, he miscued his shot, which flew perilously close to one fan before cannoning into the tree trunk and rebounding in the opposite direction.

Slow-motion replays showed supporters recoiling in panic as the ball flew in their direction at around knee height.

Thankfully no one was hurt in the scary incident, which occurred on the 16th hole at Quail Hollow.
