It was a tough finish to the opening round of the 2024 Players Championship for Adam Hadwin.
The 36-year-old Canadian was even-par through 16 holes before making a double on the par-3 17th hole. His drive on the 18th almost went into the water, forcing him to stand on a bulkhead for his approach shot.
Then, as he was hitting his approach, he hit a low pull that trickled into the water.
That’s when Hadwin’s frustration got to him.
He chucked, and I mean stepped into it and threw with all his might, his iron, which came helicoptering out of his hands and toward the water left of the 18th hole.
Splash.
The video is so good, you’ll have to watch it again and again.
