This was an extraordinary moment of live television. As CBS Sports’ Jim Nantz was wrapping up the network’s coverage of the Memorial golf tournament’s third round, saying that “tomorrow will be fun folks,” viewers could see defending champion, leader by six heading into the final round, double over during a conversation with two men, visibly upset.

“This is one of those things that happen in life, one of those moments where how we respond to a setback defines us as people,” Rahm wrote on Twitter after his withdrawal.
