Adam Hadwin is known to many from last year, when the Canadian was tackled by security staff on the green during his compatriot’s victory celebration. The Canadian also made headlines in March, this time by throwing a club into the pond on the 18th hole at the Players Championship. His wife’s reaction in both incidents left nothing to be desired and entertained the golfer’s fans. Now Hadwin’s temper struck again and he sank another of his golf clubs in the pond, this time at the PGA Championship 2024. But a fan promptly rushed to the rescue and stripped down to his pants, jumped into the icy water and fished out the equipment.

The video evidence of the fan’s – probably somewhat insane – action is immediately available on Twitter. The ponds at Valhalla Golf Club are not without danger. Water snakes and other potentially dangerous animals have been spotted in the past. The fan was not deterred by this and literally jumped into the deep end. Hadwin is now able to continue playing with a full bag without any problems thanks to the spectator’s full physical commitment.
It is not clear exactly where the scene took place, but the Toronto Sun suspects that it was around hole 7. After his round, Hadwin admitted in an interview that “bogeying seven for the second day in a row really gets to you.”

Of course, the reaction of Jessica, Hadwin’s wife, is not to be missed. Her reaction to her husband’s renewed outburst:
Me landing in Louisville: ahh ready for a chill little kid free weekend
