Rain (great deals of it) and wind have actually caused soaked and hard conditions at Oak Hill Country Club on Saturday, and the weather condition, problem of the golf course and tension of a PGA Championship are beginning to upset the field.
Need examples? Oh, we have plenty. And they all originate from Saturday early morning alone.
Jordan Spieth, who typically has plenty to state while on the golf course however isn’t frequently tossing around curse words, release some steam after his tee shot on the par-3 3rd.
“Damn it!” he said. “Hit one good f—— iron shot.”
“I don’t think he liked that one,” an expert deadpanned.
There was likewise Jon Rahm, who chose to secure some anger on this greenside mic. This began the par-3 5th hole after Rahm was disturbed with a chip. He made bogey.
Rahm wasn’t done. Three holes later on, while searching for his ball in the rough around the green, the broadcast overheard him informing a cameraman: “Stop aiming at my face when I’m mad. It’s all you guys do.”
“He got five feet from my face when my ball had ricocheted off a tree and possibly went out of bounds,” Rahm later told ESPN. “It was more about giving myself my space.”
We’re missing out on a club toss, right?
Taylor Moore, who won the Valspar Championship previously this year, supplied that. He utilized the dependable two-handed ax-style-fling of a driver off the tee box after he couldn’t discover the 16th fairway. Moore shot 78 on Saturday.
You may remember we had some moods flare on Friday, too, as Tyrrell Hatton and Rahm both slammed 2 various par-3s at Oak Hill. Fast-forward to Saturday, and Lucas Herbert obviously was not a fan of the 8th green, what his ball did on that green, or both. (He two-putted from 17 feet for par.)
The good news for the field? The rain may slow down and reoccur for the remainder of the day. Oak Hill, nevertheless, still has lots of weekend delegated irritate the very best gamers worldwide.
