PGA Tour pro Adam Hadwin gets covered in water after setting off a sprinkler head in disgust at the Valspar Championship.
Adam Hadwin is expected to be fined by the PGA Tour after smashing a sprinkler head in frustration during the Valspar Championship.
Hadwin, 37, was caught hitting a sprinker head with his wedge in disgust during the second round.
He was then instantly covered in water as he fired a load of expletives in the process.
The Canadian soon realised his mistake as he tried to cover the sprinkler head, but it was too late.
Hadwin's tantrum brought up a hat-trick from players during this week's Valspar Championship at the feared Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort in Florida.
Patton Kizzire booted his putter across the green in the first round, and then Sahith Theegala was seen hurling his iron off the tee box in the second round.
Golf social media sensation tweeted: "The course has seen enough club throws this week and is fighting back now lol."
Hadwin is now expected to be fined by the PGA Tour for his actions.
PGA Tour fans have been reacting to the viral moment on social media.
Some loved it, others thought it was a disgrace.

Hadwin carded rounds of 71 and 76 to miss the cut by two shots on 5-over par.
The Canadian won his sole PGA Tour title at the Valspar Championship in 2017.
He is currently ranked 76th in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR).

He is currently projected to be 96th in the PGA Tour's season-long FedEx Cup standings after missing the cut this week.
Hadwin is not exempt for golf's first major of the season at The Masters from 10-13 April.
Viktor Hovland, Nico Echavarria and Jacob Bridgeman lead the Valspar Championship on 7-under par heading into the final round.
Justin Thomas is two behind in a stacked leaderboard where 16 players are three shots off the pace.
