U.S. Open participant Spencer Levin had a rough day and decided to take out his frustration on the course and himself.
The 2016 U.S. Open has gotten off to a rough start. Constant rain delays, a difficult course and head scratching decisions by the USGA has golfers frustrated heading into the weekend.
The highlights have included star players shooting well over-par, along with torrential downpours that resemble a monsoon more than a venue for a major golf tournament.
Only certain players have even played two total rounds, with that short list including American Spencer Levin.
Oakmont is a notoriously difficult course and Levin found that out on Friday once the weather clear.
He finished the day five-over through two rounds, but was caught losing his cool after a bad shot.
Anyone who golfs knows the frustrations that come with a bad shot, and the pressure of playing in a major tournament does nothing to lessen the anger that comes with any bad shot.
But Levin should not be too hard on himself. Jordan Spieth finished his first round at the mark of two-over par, while Rory McIlroy is seven-over through one round. The fact the stars of the game are struggling means that Levin is not alone in his frustration, although he may be the only one showing it this dramatically.
Levin still has a shot to make the cut based on how everyone else is playing, so he needs to get himself composed to try to take advantage of the lackluster play from the rest of the field.
For now, golf fans can watch the clip of Levin freaking out and feel like a pro next time they shank a shot, even if it is not a course as difficult as Oakmont.
