Golf fans react as Callum Shinkwin and his caddy FIGHT at the Austrian Open!
Callum Shinkwin and his caddy Sam Robertshawe did some sparring in the middle of the fairway during their first round at the Austrian Open.
In what has been a cold week so far at the Diamond Country Club near Vienna in Austria, you never know what lengths you will reach in order to keep warm and keep yourself entertained.
Callum Shinkwin and his caddy Sam Robertshawe kept themselves busy at the Austrian Open by having a boxing match midway through their first round.
Things you don't often see on the golf course

It is not the usual antics that you see from a golfer and his caddy on the course, but it was entertaining for the viewers of the European Tour and Shinkwin and Robertshawe were clearly having fun.
Golf fans enjoyed seeing it and commented about it on Twitter.

I take it there is a discrepancy about the yardage to the hole!!

It was almost a weekend to forget for Shinkwin as he shot two rounds of 72 and 75 to just make the cut on 3-over-par.
The World No.152's most memorable week on the European Tour came back in November when he won the Aphrodite Hills Cyprus Open.
Two-time major champion Martin Kaymer is one shot off the lead at the Austrian Open after the first two rounds on 6-under-par. He trails the Spaniard Alejandro Cañizares going into the weekend.
Kaymer won the USPGA Championship in 2010 and added another major title in 2014 at the US Open, but this was the German's last victory and he has a great chance in Austria this weekend.
Cañizares leads the way on 7-under-par going into the weekend with rounds of 67 and 70 and he is looking for his first win on the European Tour since 2014.
