What’s the latest at the Valspar Championship? Following Patton Kizzire’s memorable putter throw, Sahith Theegala has now showcased his frustration on the tee box. Witness the consequences when Theegala’s ball veers off course.
At the par-3 4th hole, Theegala pushed a shot to the right — prompting him to hurl his club in frustration. Despite the outburst, he managed to par the hole by sinking a 13-foot putt.
It seems that Theegala’s outburst was a result of a string of frustrations, with three bogeys in the last six holes, including one right before this tee shot. Starting his round on the 10th hole, Theegala slipped from two strokes off the lead to at least four strokes back after finishing the day 1-over.
Theegala’s club-throw form was impressive, showcasing a strong pullback, quick wrist action, and smooth follow-through. However, he did break a cardinal rule of golf.
As the fiery Tommy Bolt once advised, “If you are going to throw a club, make sure to throw it ahead of you, down the fairway, so you don’t have to waste energy retrieving it.” Wise words indeed. Instead of risking the Walk of Shame, aim for the fairway next time, Sahith.
