Matt Wallace rages at PGA Tour venue: "I don't like this golf course"

It wouldn't be unreasonable to suggest England's Matt Wallace isn't a fan of this week's PGA Tour venue. 

Wallace is in North Carolina playing the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club. 

It is crunch time for the 33-year-old's season as he needs a good showing this week if he is to advance to the postseason. 

The tour pro came into this event 80th in the FedEx Cup standings and needing to finish inside the top 70. 

He carded an opening round of 3-under 67 to sit five strokes back of the early leader Russell Henley. 

More:

• What does Justin Thomas need at the Wyndham to make FedEx Cup Playoffs?
• Tiger Woods' authority felt as PGA Tour makes radical (!) 2024 schedule changes
• Brad Faxon goes after (!) Rory McIlroy's critics: "It is beyond reproach"

That looked like a solid enough start, but Wallace was not happy. He wasn't happy at all. 

Wallace said he was 'a bit p***** off' and the track was not fun to play.

Perhaps if he didn't bogey two of his last three holes he may have offered different opinion. 

"I don't like this golf course," Wallace told a pool of reporters. 

Why? 

He explained:

Wallace said it's a great tournament with a great sponsor but he just doesn't like the course. 

"I know the way to play well around here," he said. "You've got to hit lots of greens and I felt like I'm doing that."

Wallace's frustrations were compounded, he said, when he struck a 5-iron into the 18th and his golf ball pitched on the front edge and 'didn't go anywhere'. 

"Maybe I'm just being me and being a bit bitchy," he added.
