Grumpy golfer John Daly took out his frustration after a bad round by smashing a spectator's camera against a tree.
The controversial American, who has battled alcohol and gambling addictions, is now in danger of missing the cut after a six-over round of 78.
Daly grabbed Brad Clegg's camera after hitting his tee shot on the ninth and final hole into a clump of trees.
"I was looking to take a drop and the camera was six inches away from my face," Daly said in a statement afterwards.
Clegg said he was stunned by the incident and did not believe he had provoked Daly, the 1991 PGA and 1995 Open champion.
"It was very unexpected. I was bold but I wasn't unreasonable," he said.
( I don't for one second want to encourage anyone to take the law into their own hands. I also wasn't near this event but still fans and those in the media at times need to take a step back when trying to film well known people. Read more on this story right here.)
