PGA Championship 2019: Tiger Woods had the perfect comeback when asked about missing the cut

PGA Championship 2019: Cameras catch Jon Rahm when he probably preferred they didn’t…

Stuart FranklinPlaying in the featured group at a PGA Tour event is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, fans will get to see all your shots during a good round. On the other, fans will get to see all your shots during a bad round. There's also the chance they'll see everything you do during the day. And we mean everything.

Jon Rahm found this out the hard way during Friday's second round of the 2019 PGA Championship. On top of the Spaniard struggling mightily at Bethpage Black, cameras caught him scampering into the trees to take a leak while playing partner Dustin Johnson lined up a shot on the par-5 fourth hole.
