Adam Hadwin's frustration peaks as he throws his club away post failed shots on the 17th and 18th hole at The Players Championship

The 2024 Players Championship is currently celebrating its historic 50th anniversary, but Adam Hadwin is not enjoying game play during round 1 of the event. The TPC Sawgrass is known to be one of the toughest courses, and it recently got the better of Hadwin.

Adam Hadwin, for the first time in his career, put a ball in the water on the TPC Sawgrass course. The Canadian golfer hit his ball in the water on the 17th hole, ending the positive streak he had going during round 1. Ultimately, Hadwin ended up with a double bogey.

Moving onto the 18th hole of the Players Championship, everyone expected Hadwin to bounce back to his usual game play. However, things really turned wild for Hadwin. First, he hit his ball just inches away from the water and the second shot he took touched the water.

Then, in a rather dramatic fashion, Adam Hadwin ended up throwing his club into the water.

It was an unexpected move for Hadwin, who sits in a disastrous T127 with a score of +3 after finishing the first round of the Players Championship.
