On Thursday, Matthew Wolff endured a rather peculiar round at Augusta National, with the American not only snapping a club on the par 3 4th, but was forced to take a putter out of a bunker on the par 4 7th!
Starting his round with a double-bogey, the 22-year-old then produced two bogies on the 2nd and 3rd before frustration got the better of him on the 4th, with his pushed tee shot finding the greenside bunker. Consequently, his long-iron was no more, with Wolff pushing down on the club and snapping it in half.
Although he recovered with a few pars, it was the 7th that had people talking, with Wolff's second shot at the par 4 ending up in the bunker just past the green. All through the day, analysts and commentators had been advising to not go long on the hole and, with the shot that Wolff was facing, you could understand why!

Faced with a shot that was completely downhill, the American decided not to place a wedge on it, but instead his putter... Resulting in the shot hitting the bank and rebounding in the air, before finding the sand yet again.
The ironic thing is that Wolff would get up-and-down with the following shot. Splashing out the bunker, the 22-year-old put the ball close to the hole for before stroking his bogey putt in. Following the dropped shot, the American finished at nine-over-par, with Wolff currently sitting in a share of second-last.
