Max Homa launches club down Quail Hollow fairway as PGA Championship frustrations boil over
The American star was less than impressed with his miserable shot and launched his club 30 yards down the runway
Mad Max Homa spoke earlier this year about having a toxic relationship with the game of golf.
He certainly had a toxic relationship with one of his clubs after launching it 30 yards down the fairway at Quail Hollow.
Homa is known as one of the calmest individuals in the game and is starting to look as though he is getting back to some form after a slump.
But that cool exterior snapped during the final round of the PGA Championship with his whizzing of a stick down the runway.
The American Ryder Cup star was raging with himself after an errant shot and took the frustrations out on his bat as he helicoptered it.
Amusingly, it appeared his caddie was not going to clean up the mess for the naughty golfer as Homa ended up trudging down the fairway to pick it up himself and drag the face through the rough to clean it after his temporary loss of composure.
It's been a telling week for some of the game's elite at the 107th Championship with some x-rated language as tempers boil over.
Shane Lowry smashed into the club into the deck in understandable frustration after he wasn't given a free drop when his ball dropped into a hole during round two and Homa is the latest to let the heat of the battle get under his hot collar.

Cast your mind back to the are dominating the Scottish game and Pat Bonner is the Celtic goalkeeper.A fresh-faced 17-year-old Shay Given is on the Celtic bench "praying to God" the Ireland international didn't pull up injured and force his debut.

It's just all the memories come flooding back."I was on the bench once for an Old Firm game when I was 17, praying to God that Pat Bonner wasn't going to get injured because I was going to have to come off the bench at 17. I would have been a nervous wreck, if I'm being brutally honest."The club's changed so much since I was here at 16 until 18. Even the stadium, look around the stadium now, it's just phenomenal."I was here when the old jungle was there across from the dugout. The way the club has moved forward and moved on, it's a phenomenal club now. It's a totally different animal, as such, but it's great to see how the club has progressed."I always brings back a special feeling coming back here."

Celtic hero Greg Taylor could be set for instant Champions League return as surprise new name enters ex-Hoops star race

SunSport understands the Danish champs are the latest club to show an interest in the Scotland left-back. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 3 Greg Taylor has cut the cord from Celtic Credit: Kenny Ramsay 3 FC Copenhagen's Victor Froholdt in action Credit: Reuters 3 Greg Taylor in action at the Scottish Cup final Credit: Alamy Taylor, 27, decided to quit Celtic after six years when his contract expired at the end of the season. With Kieran Tierney returning to the Hoops, Taylor has chosen to move on. Greek side PAOK looked to be among the frontrunners for his signature. But media there claimed earlier this week that talks with the ex-Kilmarnock ace had frozen. That could now open the door for Copenhagen, who can also offer Taylor the prospect of a potential quickfire return to Champions League football. They regained the Superliga title after pipping Midtjylland to top spot by a single point and will now enter the competition in the second qualifying round. Their 37-year-old boss Jacob Hansen signed Peru international left-back Marcos Lopez on loan a year ago. There was an option to buy inserted in that deal which expires this month but there has been no announcement on his future as yet. They also have Norwegian cap Birger Meling, 30, on their books. But Copenhagen are far from the only side interested in Taylor, with two more English clubs also believed to be weighing up moves.
