Golfer Fires Club Into Water In Wild Players Championship Meltdown

Golf ball resting against pin and about to drop into hole

Adam Hadwin launched his club into the water at the Players Championship on Thursday after hitting his ball in the drink.

The trouble for the Canadian started on the previous hole on the famed 17th island green at Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

Hadwin hit into the water on that hole to make a double bogey and then hit his drive on 18 right up against the water.

Standing on the bulkhead next to the water, Hadwin attempted to hit a low draw into the green.

The shot landed in the fairway but the slope kicked it left as it approached the green and the ball tumbled into the water.

A frustrated Hadwin then launched his iron into the water as he went on to make a bogey on the hole and finish his opening round 3-over.

“That just tells you how this golf course can just knock you off your rocker,” analyst Notah Begay said on the broadcast, according to Golf.com.
