Watch: Shane Lowry snaps club in anger as he struggles at Players Championship
Shane Lowry snapped a club over his knee after running up a double-bogey six at the 15th in a 77 that left him 127th on five-over at the Players Championship in Sawgrass.
Three over for the day playing the 455-yard par-four, the Clara man drove into the trees on the right, but his attempted escape ricocheted further right into more trouble.
Annoyed by his mistake, Lowry whacked the club off a tree before breaking it over his knee and tossing it onto the adjacent cart path. Yet he still scrambled a double-bogey six before finishing with three pars.
It was a disappointing day also for fellow Irishmen Rory McIlroy and Seamus Power. Full report from Sawgrass is here.
