Adam Hadwin has won the hearts of the average golfer after the Canadian launched his club into the water on the 18th hole.
TPC Sawgrass can often make or break players on the PGA Tour with the course not suiting one type of player.
There's the trademark 17th hole that shouldn't cause too many troubles for professionals as a short 130-yard shot with a wide green to aim for.
But the pressure of the hole in tournament format gets the better of some and Hadwin, who had an up-and-down round up to that point, was unable to land his tee shot on the short stuff.

Hadwin ended up walking off with a double-bogey on the historic hole and that clearly put him in a bad mood heading to the tricky 18th.
The 36-year-old played with fire with his tee shot only just avoiding falling into the water.
It left him with an awkward approach shot with the one-time PGA Tour event winner forced to stand on wooden slats right next to the water.
He opted to play a low hook with the ball bouncing short of the green before taking a wicked bounce left.
That sent the ball racing towards the body of water before it dropped in and Hadwin let his frustrations get the better of him.
Cameras panned back to Hadwin, who launched his iron into the water with fans relating to his pain.
One X user tweeted: "Adam Hadwin just tossed his club into the drink. He's one of us."
Another asked: "Is this a perfect club throw from Adam Hadwin?"
A third posted: "Tremendous form on the Adam Hadwin club throw."

The 18th hole has caught out several players already at TPC Sawgrass with the huge body of water on the left hard to ignore.
Hadwin ended up managing to salvage a bogey after taking his drop shot near the green.
But he's now left himself with plenty of work to do to make the cut on Friday after ending his round three-over par.
