[Golf Topic] '28-Year-Old Bad Boy' Meori "Threw Putter and Broke Iron When Game Didn't Go Well"

[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○…The '28-year-old troublemaker' Grayson Murray (USA, photo) faced a flood of criticism for his unsightly behavior...

On the 20th (Korean time), the starting point was his disastrous 10-over-par performance on the final day of the 122nd US Open, the third major of this PGA Tour season, held at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts (par 70, 7,264 yards). He made only one birdie, four bogeys, one triple bogey, and even a quadruple bogey on the 7th hole (par 4). Since his first appearance in 2013, when he missed the cut, his final standing this time was 63rd, second to last (18-over-par 288 strokes).

Murray recorded his only win in July 2017 at the Barbasol Championship but has made only six top-10 finishes in 109 career events, showing little presence. On this day, after missing a double bogey putt on the 7th hole, he threw his putter far away, sending it flying about 20 meters. On the 10th hole (par 4), when his iron shot landed in the rough beside the green, he even broke his club by placing it on his knee. A TV commentator pointed out that it was "behavior that worsens play," and comments flooded social media videos saying "a penalty is necessary."
