Despite making a fool out of himself, there is no excuse for what van Rooyen did. The childish outburst nearly injured a fan (Close call No. 1) when he smashed the tee marker out of frustration, and then nearly injured a colleague’s caddie (Close call No. 2) when he went back for more and broke the club head off his iron (Victim No. 1).

Are a suspension and/or fine in order? Share your thoughts!
