Watch as golfer Grayson Murray snaps club over knee and launches putter in meltdown at US Open
GRAYSON MURRARY had a day to forget at the US Open – and vented his frustration by throwing his club and later snapping it over his knee.
World No 544 Murray started off his afternoon in strong form with a birdie on the opening hole.
But his day quickly unravelled and his clubs went from heroes to villains.
As the day progressed Murray tumbled down the order – culminating in him launching his club at hole seven following a quadruple-bogey.
However, more was to come from the American, as his poor golfing saw the red mist descend at the 10th.
The furious 28-year-old snapped his club over his leg, leaving him with less clubs than he started the day with.
