Another major championship has been won by a PGA Tour player, with Scottie Scheffler triumphing at the PGA Championship.

Phil Mickelson has congratulated Scheffler on his win, with the LIV Golf player having missed the cut at Quail Hollow.

Scheffler finished on 11-under in North Carolina, with the PGA Championship representing his third major success.

The world number one also won The Masters in 2022 and 2024, and now has 15 PGA Tour wins to his name.

Scheffler saw off competition from fellow Americans Harris English, Bryson DeChambeau and Davis Riley this time around, with the trio all ending T2 on six-under.

Many golf fans unhappy with Wyndham Clark behaviour at the PGA Championship

But two of his compatriots have found themselves in trouble with fans after their behaviour in the final round at Quail Hollow.

One of whom was PGA Tour player Wyndham Clark, who launched his driver into the advertising boards at the back of the 16th tee.

After he left a hole in one of the boards and broke his driver, one fan wrote on X: “Absurd! Looks like the sign saved him from hurting someone. He should be suspended.”

A second commented: “If there was ever a reason to suspend a golfer this is it,” with a third saying: “Not cool dude!”

A fourth wrote: “That’s gotta be at least a fine, right?” while even his fellow PGA Tour player Michael Kim got involved.

But Kim, who finished T55 at the PGA Championship, decided to see the funny side, saying: “He was just giving his sponsor T-Mobile a high five.”

Penalties for throwing clubs called for after Max Homa frustration at the PGA Championship

But Clark wasn’t the only player to launch a club in frustration, with another PGA Tour player, Max Homa, doing the same.

And fans made similar comments about the American, with one saying: “There should be penalties for throwing clubs.”

A second wrote: “The PGA man child,” with a third saying: “Disrespectful to the sport and to the players. He deserves nothing.”

With the stakes so high and the margin for error so small, such frustration is certainly understandable at this level.

But it certainly isn’t a good look from the players, who should be able to control their emotions as they set an example for those watching on.

It is also, of course, dangerous for those nearby, particularly in the case of Clark, who could have damaged more than the advertising board with a little more recklessness.
