Rice, 58, continued the rest of the game at Pebble Beach but clearly she was rattled.
Rice told reporters, "Somebody asked me, 'How did it compare to diplomacy?' And I said, 'Well, I know how to do diplomacy, I'm not so sure about the golf course.'"
So far, no video has surfaced of the incident. AT&T organizers strongly control video of the golf tournament.
