The two-time major winner from Spain intended to make an air swing in frustration after a poor shot but instead dug out a patch of grass that flew into the air and struck the volunteer.
"I got a flier on my second shot that went long. It's not a good spot," Rahm said.
"Just out of frustration, I tried to make an air swing, just over the grass, and I wasn't looking, took a divot, and unfortunately, I hit a volunteer."
