Matt Wallace suffers embarrassing meltdown as he yells at caddie at Valspar Championship in Florida

Matt Wallace is known for having a temper on the golf course, and he showed it during the third round of the Valspar Championship in Florida, with footage of the Englishman and his caddy Sam Bernard arguing later going viral.

On the 18th hole of Innisbrook’s Copperhead course in Palm Harbor, Wallace’s ball was on a cart track and the player himself wanted to swing from there, while his caddy thought it best to step in and try to convince him to reconsider his decision. strategy.

It has been reported that Bernard would have preferred his boss to swerve to the right of the path, which appeared to have disturbed the four-time DP World Tour winner’s pace.

Video from NBC’s coverage of the PGA tournament shows Wallace and Bernard in a heated argument after the golfer ended up running out of the way but hit his shot just short of the green.

In the clip, Wallace appears to tell his dealer, “Shut the fuck up and stop trying to get involved…stop trying to get involved,” before handing him his glove and club.

In response, Bernard appears to tell the 32-year-old, “I don’t want to get involved.”

Later, analyst Paul Azinger said on the NBC broadcast that the couple “should have had a microphone.”

It seems the duo have put their feud behind them, at least for now, as NBC’s on-field reporter Cara Banks got a chance to catch up with them after the round.

“I can confirm that the association is fine,” he said. ‘They’ll get back together [for Sunday’s final round]. Matt was just frustrated after his bogey at 17 and hitting that errant drive at 18.

“I was frustrated that Sam questioned whether or not he should take a drop before the second shot.”

Wallace ended up making par and hitting a 70. At the end of Sunday, he was in seventh place, along with Americans Webb Simpson and Cody Gribble.

American Taylor Moore prevailed, ahead of Jordan Spieth and Tommy Fleetwood, who finished tied for third. He entered the mix with a 5-foot 9-iron for birdie on the 15th hole and a 25-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole, followed by two tough pars for a 4-under-par 67.

Moore’s win on Sunday was his first on the PGA Tour and was worth $1,458,000. He also moved it to No. 9 in the FedEx Cup standings. Along with the Masters, he gets into the PGA Championship. He went from No. 103 to being in the top 50 in the world.

Meanwhile, Wallace’s latest public outburst is not the first time the Englishman has openly shown his frustration while playing competitive golf.

In 2019, the current world No. 175 blew up on his former looper Dave McNeil at the BMW International Open, and he faced plenty of backlash afterwards.

Wallace also buried his putter in the ground while playing the 18th hole at Hillside during the 2019 British Masters.

In 2021, he threw clubs at the Welsh Open in Newport.
