Jon Rahm Ripped For 'Embarrassing' Behavior At PGA Championship Thursday

The 31-year-old golfer is hoping to change that this weekend. Rahm is playing in the PGA Championship this weekend. He's off to an OK start. Rahm is even par through 15 holes. However, he's recently expressed some frustration.

Rahm hit a tough approach shot on the No. 7 hole. He wasn't happy with how it turned out. Rahm immediately smacked his club into the rough. He took up some grass with the club smash, accidentally hitting a volunteer in the face.

The Athletic's Gabby Herzig sounded off.

"A frustrated Jon Rahm just took a swing at the rough after his approach on No. 7. It caused a clump of grass to fly into a volunteer's face. (Looked like Rahm felt pretty bad about it, he went over and apologized quickly.)," she wrote.
