The reason why Mitchell identifies as having the most excited fans is clearly visible in the recent PGA Tour video on Instagram. It was already not going very well for the golfer, but the disappointment had just begun. As he smashed his driver into the turf, his ball sailed right into the water. And as soon as that happened, the buzzer sounded calling it game over for the day.
