Another day, another golfer having a huge meltdown at the golf course. Brooks Koepka had a frustrating day in Round 1 at LIV Golf Dallas. The golfer found himself under the heat of fans after he destroyed a tee box marker moments before withdrawing from the event.

The 5-time major champion had a poor start to the day on Friday. He made 2 triple bogeys on the front nine at the 5th and 7th hole and was 6-over after playing the first nine holes. He eventually ended the round being 9-over with a score of 81.

Koepka was visibly frustrated by his performance in the opening round of LIV Golf Dallas. His temper would boil over at the 9th hole after hitting an errant tee shot.

The Smash GC captain would take his team’s name too seriously and smashed a tee box marker. He would slam his golf club onto the tee marker and then sent it flying towards the crowd. Fortunately, nobody was hurt in this incident.

The golfer would later withdraw from the event while citing illness. This is where things get a bit interesting. Unlike the PGA Tour, Koepka can return to action this weekend.

The former World No.1 is allowed to come back to play on Saturday or Sunday if he feels better. His score, however, will not be counted. It will be counted towards the team in the team standings.

Recently, McIlroy and Clark found themselves getting trashed by fans on social media. While McIlroy had also destroyed a tee box and thrown his club, Clark would destroy the locker room at the Oakmont course during the U.S. Open. Clark would later apologize for his actions.

While he has had mixed results at the LIV Golf circuit, his performances in the first two majors were below par. He would miss the cut at both the Masters Tournament and the PGA Championship.

He did have a strong start to the U.S. Open, though. In the first round, Koepka fired a 2-under 68 score and was T3 at the end of Thursday’s play. In the press conference, he would speak about his mental health and how it drove him nuts.

From the first weekend in April until about last week, you didn’t want to be around me. It drove me nuts, it ate at me. I haven’t been happy. It’s very irritating.

He went on to shoot scores of 74 and 73 in Rounds 2 and 3 as the conditions at Oakmont became challenging. He eventually finished the tournament T12 with a 6-over score by carding a score of 71 in the final round and jumped up 9 places on the leaderboard.
