It’s often said that golf is a good walk spoilt, and anyone who has ever so much as held a club knows that to be true.
Even those who make it all the way to the top are prone to the odd outburst, and case in point is Belgian Thomas Pieters.
During the second round of the BMW PGA Championship, Pieters lost his cool on the 5th hole.
Seems like he’s been doing his neck exercises, because the shaft didn’t stand a chance.

Oh deary me, indeed, old chap.
Good technique on the snap, though.
Turns out Pieters is somewhat notorious for having a short fuse, like this incident back in 2016:

Always tough to see a putting episode like number seven, especially when it’s a South African golfer:
