Golf fans react to bizarre Brian Harman incident at DP World India Championship

Golf fans have been left scratching the surface after Brian Harman was seen hurling his club into the ground in frustration when hitting a great tee shot during the final round of the DP World India Championship.

We all know the world's best players have high standards, but come on, was there any need to launch your golf club into the turf when sending a shot in to 10 feet? 

That's what unfolded on the 161-yard par-3 5th at Delhi GC on Sunday.

Within seconds of Harman's tee shot being sent airborne, the ratty American flung his club to the deck. 

As the camera then panned to the green, Harman's ball ended up around 10 feet away.

It was six feet 11 inches according to DP World Tour's shot data, but we would question that...

Watch Harman's bizarre reaction here: 

"Anger management is a suggestion," wrote one fan on X / Twitter.

One fan joked: "If I had a shot even half that good I'd be jumping for joy."

Another commented: "That’s crazy. I would be very happy with that shot."

"That should be a club twirl not a club smash," wrote one fan. 

Harman went on to two-putt for par but it was a lacklustre Sunday performance from the 2023 Open champion. 

On what proved to be a low-scoring final round for many of the leading groups, Harman unfortunately slid down the board.

Harman opened the round with a disastrous double-bogey seven, which likely explains his irritation by the time he boarded the 5th tee.

He did birdie the par-4 2nd though.

Harman bogeyed the par-3 7th before adding consecutive birdies on 8 and 9 to go out in a level-par 36.

But he would make three bogeys on the back nine with just one birdie and it all added up to a dismal 2-over 74.

That was the worst score of anyone in the top 55 on the leaderboard at the DP World India Championship. 

He finished the week on 11-under par in T26.

Harman was making a rare appearance on the DP World Tour and his first ever on Indian soil. 

He flies back to America with €32,414 in his back pocket - check out how much they all earned at the DP World India Championship.

Tommy Fleetwood went on to win the tournament for his second victory of the season and first on the DP World Tour.

It marked his eighth career win on the DP World Tour. 

Fleetwood revealed after the tournament that it was the first time he had won in front of his young son, Frankie.

The Englishman explained how during a home game between father and son last week that Frankie reminded him that he had not yet been able to run on the green to celebrate a win with him. 

Fleetwood set the record straight on Sunday as he closed things out with a brilliant 65 to win by two shots over Keita Nakajima.

He was then immediately congratulated with a warm hug from Frankie. 

Watch the beautiful moment where Frankie ran on to the 18th green to celebrate victory with his father Tommy:
