Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was embarrassed at the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am this week after one of her shots hit a woman straight in the face.
"On the par-5 sixth hole, which features a blind approach to the uphill green, Rice's second shot landed on the side of the hill. After she advanced it several yards with her third, her fourth shot flew out of the grabby grass and hit a spectator standing behind the left gallery rope," according to The New York Times report.
Rice, a long time golfer, was paired up with Jason Bohn in the event.
Rice, 58, handed the woman's daughter a white towl to stop the bleeding and held the woman's hand until first-aid personnel showed up. The woman was left with a "nasty" gash on her face and lots of bleeding thanks to the shot according to The New York Times.
"Did I hit you? It was a bad shot. I'm really sorry," said Rice to the woman, whose identity has not been revealed to the press according to The New York Times.

Rice was reportedly very nice to the woman, apologizing profusely about the shot. She gave the woman's daughter he cell phone number so that she could receive updates on her medical condition.
The shot clearly affected Rice the rest of the day, as her game got worse after the incident. Rice, who plays to a 17 handicap, hit her best drives of at the event on the first two holes. She hit a 30-foot putt for par on the second hole after a chip.
"She was an incredible person," said Bohn about Rice. "A lot different than what I might have expected, to be honest, in the sense that she's real. What you see maybe from a political side you might not see as much of the realness that you want to. On the golf course, you see the real person."
