Tour pro takes dim view of Matt Wallace after he explains "STFU" caddie moment!
Matt Wallace has explained his point of view after a video went viral of the Englishman berating his caddie at a PGA Tour event.
England's Matt Wallace has addressed the moment he was involved in a fiery exchange with his caddie Sam during the Valspar Championship.
The angry exchange happened during the third round at the Copperhead course at Innisbrook resort.
Wallace missed the fairway and his golf ball came to rest on the cart path.

It's hard to work out exactly what was said in the exchange, but the 32-year-old could be seen mouthing the words "shut the f*** up" to his looper.
Wallace got up-and-down for par and eventually finished T-7, six strokes behind the champion Taylor Moore.
England's Tommy Fleetwood also finished inside the top-10. Fleetwood has taken the time to react to this unwanted PGA Tour milestone.
But back to Wallace who told Sky Sports it all happened in the heat of the moment.
