Tour pro Stadler gets angry, hits golf fan with broken clubhead

A golf fan was struck in the face by a broken clubhead after PGA Tour veteran Kevin Stadler lost his rag during the Web.com Tour's WinCo Foods Portland Open.

Stadler slammed his 7-iron in anger after a poor shot to the par-3 15th, before the club snapped and the head flew into the crowd, hitting and cutting the spectator.

The man was rushed to hospital and required stiches, and a "possible skull fracture" was initially feared despite the man later being released from hospital in good condition.

"It’s been a while since I’ve seen so much blood," said Shaun Micheel, who was playing in the same group as Stadler.

Micheel said Stadler was "absolutely shattered" by what happened, and the rest of the group tried to “keep his spirits up” as they finished their round.

This was Micheel's Facebook post at the time, before later being made unavailable to the public...
