PGA Tour Pro’s ‘Awful’ and ‘Burned Out’ Gameplay at the Players Championship Drives the Golf World Berserk

Every athlete faces pressure while playing the sport. It’s how they respond to that stress and heat that defines them as sportsmen. While some may keep moving forward and work their way through the pressure, others choose to give in to it. There are also those who, under stress, make decisions they wouldn’t otherwise make. And that was exactly what a PGA Tour pro did recently on the course at the Players Championship, sending the golf fans in a frenzy!

A PGA Tour pro infuriates the golf world with his actions

5-time PGA Tour winner, Nick Watney, didn’t have the best start to the so-called “5th major” this week. Ending the first round four over par may not have even been the worst part of his day on Thursday this week. After all, at one hole, he carded a “quadruple bogey” thanks to a “boneheaded” mistake.

Dan Rapaport, Barstool Sports’ golf guy, recently posted a video of Watney at the 17th hole of the Players. “There is just not a single thing on planet earth that can reason with a pissed off golfer,” he wrote, venting his frustration with silly mistakes on the course. “They could be playing for $500 million and someone would still make an absolutely boneheaded mistake like this.”

The golf world agreed with Rapaport too, and taking to the comments, they voiced their disappointment with Watney. They suggested that he had thrown in the towel too soon and given up too early.

Fans even recalled their own incidents of frustration on the course. They stated that they could only imagine how hard it was to play in that high-stress environment. And some fans even related to and empathized with his frustrations, claiming that they too had been in similar situations.

The sports enthusiasts also chimed in, stating that a similar incident was quite common across all sports. They stated that the pressure and frustration often caused athletes to lose focus and even lead to anger.

Do you agree with the golf world? And does the above video infuriate you as well for the silliness with which Watney lost two strokes? Let us know in the comments below.
