Shane Lowry was unable to hide his frustration at the PGA Championship on Friday, May 16.
Lowry, 38, was on the eighth hole at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C., when his tee shot landed in a pre-established divot in the fairway, per Golf.com. Lowry, who is ranked No. 10 in the world, spoke with a rules official after the ball first landed. But the officials didn’t budge, and he had to continue by hitting from the divot.
Once he did so, he tore up the area around the divot. He then took his club directly to the gap and slammed into it, taking out a huge chunk of the turf.
