The final round of the Valspar Championship will start in a few hours. While fans are certainly waiting for the final action of Sunday, an incident from Friday is still causing a buzz in the community. If you are thinking about Adam Hadwin lashing out his frustration on the ground, you are exactly right. This incident not only caused a lot of drama but the golfer also became part of people’s joke. Now, CBS Sports reporter Amanda Balionis is also chipping in with some comments of her own.
If you aren’t aware of the incident, let us walk you through it. It happened after Hadwin carded a 76 with two double bogeys and two bogeys and was to meet the cutline of 2 over par at the tournament. Frustrated over this, the golfer was exiting the course. While doing so, he hit his club hard into the grass field, as soon as the club made contact with the ground, the water pipe started sprinkling water with high pressure. The golfer immediately turned around and tried to control the water with his feet, but the pressure was too high.
As the clip went viral, it also showed how people behind the camera were laughing at Hadwin for his behavior. Witnessing this Amanda Balionis hilariously re-shared the incident’s clip on her Instagram story, saying “I cannot stop laughing at this, from mad to sorry in 5 seconds.” That’s not the end of it, there might be more consequences costing the golfer money. That’s right, the PGA Tour has a history of fining players for “conduct unbecoming a professional.” The club-throwing incident from Adam Hadwin will fall into the same category.

Back in 2015, Rory McIlroy tossed his 3-iron into the water at Doral, and guess what happened next? The Irishman was fined $5,000 for this. Later he revealed that “The fine was reduced from $25,000 to $5,000 because I said I was sorry in the TV interview afterward.” Although the PGA Tour doesn’t generally reveal about it to keep the reputation of the pros, Hadwin might have to pay a similar amount. While a lot of people are talking about this hilarious incident, Hadwin’s wife Jessica has something to say.
What did Adam Hadwin’s wife say about this incident?
It’s certainly a hard time for Adam Hadwin, the golfer was not only unable to make the cut but now the community is also making fun of him. In this situation, his wife, Jessica Hadwin came to his rescue. Jessica recently shared a post on her X captioning “Through sickness and health. Amen,” posting a picture that said “0 days since last incident.” Her caption is basically a traditional wedding vow phrase signifying a commitment to support and love a partner through both good and challenging times.

Jessica Hadwin is very active on social media and likes to talk about her husband with a touch of her quirky sense of humor. Last year she shared a hilarious post saying “When you’ve got a masters tee time at noon, but need to check out the structural integrity of the rental’s kitchen sink first.” The golfer was ready to tee up at the Masters but was seen trying to fix the kitchen sink before going out. On one look, she seems playful with her lighthearted roasts of her husband, but she also proves to be genuinely supportive when it matters.
