However, she said about Horschel’s breakdown, “I got mad a lot.” Even her parents disliked her anger issues and warned her to calm down. If she was not going to take control of her emotions, it was better that she stopped playing. Talking about her parent’s feelings, she said, “My parents didn’t like when I would get angry, and they said it was just unbecoming, so if I ever showed that kind of emotion again, I probably shouldn’t be playing.”
The 29-year-old former golfer admitted that when things did not go according to her, the former pro would swing and hiss, tossing clubs and acting “psychotic.” The sexiest American woman also revealed her on-course attitude. She was either serene or very frustrated; she had no middle ground. The internet queen struggled with rage issues throughout her practice sessions.
