Sky Sports had to apologise after picking up an expletive from Tyrell Hatton during an outburst by the Englishman at the PGA Championship.
The LIV Golf star was playing his way out of a bunker on hole four, hitting his ball onto the green, but splashing lots of sand on his face and in his hat.
Frustrated, Hatton smashed his club onto the lip of the bunker, before saying: "F*** sake," a comment which was picked up by the nearby microphones.
Sky Sports commentator Nick Dougherty quickly stepped in, apologising for the language used by the Englishman.
Hatton was one of several notable names to have missed the cut, including Bob MacIntyre and Tommy Fleetwood.
Other big names eliminated include Victor Hovland, US Open champion JJ Spaun and Bryson DeChambeau, who struggled to find any form across his two rounds.
Maverick McNealy and Alex Smalley lead the way heading into the weekend, with the rest of the pack within eight shots of the leaders.
Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are in the chasing pack, with the Northern Irishman critical of the setup this year at the championship.

He told reporters after his second round: "I think a bunched leaderboard like this, I think it's a sign of not a great set-up.
"I think when it's as bunched as it is, it hasn't really enabled anyone to separate themselves.
"It's easy to make a ton of pars, hard to make birdies. Not that it's hard to make bogey, but it feels like bogey's the worst score you're going to shoot on any one hole. There's not a lot of hazards.
"I think the set-up is fine - the golf course is good, the pins were tough, and the wind was what it was as well.

"I've always felt like really good set-ups start to spread the field a bit, and not great set-ups sort of bring everyone together. I feel like that's what's happened the last two days."
The world number two felt the pin positions were very difficult, suggesting that organisers were "really trying to protect the course".
He said: "It has been hard to make birdies out there because obviously the wind the last couple days, but also where they have put these hole locations.
"It seems like they have used up a lot of the really hard ones [pins]. Depending upon a little bit calmer conditions and maybe a couple more favourable hole locations, I think guys that are just here for the weekend - I think everyone's got to feel like they have got a chance.
McIlroy sits at one-over-par heading into the weekend | GETTY"It's bunched, but you get on a run with wedges on that front nine and you shoot four of five under and all of a sudden you're right in the thick of things. At five back I do feel like I'm right in the tournament, and that's really what I wanted to do today."
Scheffler voiced his counterpart's comments on pin locations, saying: "Most of the pins today were kind of absurd. There are just some things that are out of your control.
"They were just so far into the areas where we thought the pins were going to be, and then they just… like the one on 14 was probably the hardest pin that I've seen in a long time.
"I mean, there's literally just like a spine, and they're like: 'Oh, we'll just put the pin right on top of it.' And you're like: 'All right, well, I'll see what I can do."
McIlroy has been paired with American Brooks Koepka for round three, while Scheffler will head out with Spaniard David Puig.
