Don't feel bad, Matt James ... CC Sabathia also hit a guy with an errant tee shot on the course in Arizona on Wednesday -- drilling a Yankees fan in the leg just hours before the 'Bachelor' star hit a photog in the thigh.
CC's unfortunate drive happened on the 18th hole of the Waste Management Phoenix Open Pro-Am ... when a witness tells us the former Yankees superstar pushed his shot so far to the right on the par-4, it struck a man in the leg.
Video, obtained by TMZ Sports, shows the collision was so powerful ... it actually caused the guy to bleed.
Thankfully, we're told the fan ended up being OK -- and, watch the clip, CC was super nice and apologetic about it all.
Sabathia can be heard chatting it up with the man, who actually said he was a big Yankees and CC fan.
Sabathia ended up signing a golf ball as an apology souvenir ... before he headed off to finish out his round.
In case you were wondering, Sabathia is normally a fairly decent golfer -- reportedly with a handicap in the teens.
As for James, who drilled a fan at the event on the 16th hole shortly after Sabathia, we're pretty sure he can't say the same thing.
