Punts? Tomahawks? Tempers flaring at difficult Valspar Championship

Tempers are flaring in Florida. At the Valspar Championship on Thursday, we saw Patton Kizzire punt his putter after missing a 6-footer for par. It was bizarre but also kind of hilarious because, well, how often have you seen a player punt a golf club?

(We don’t condone kicking or throwing clubs on the golf course, but the actual height and distance Kizzire got from the kick was impressive.)

Kizzire withdrew a couple of holes later.

This brings us to Friday at the Valspar, where Sahith Theegala reached the par-3 4th coming off a bogey on the previous hole (and readying for a hole he bogeyed Thursday).
