“Free Money Will Do That”: LIV Golf Defector’s One-Handed Mishap Has Jolted the Internet Into a Frenzy of Criticisms

LIV Golf, as always, has 48 players competing for the title at Greenbrier. After a stunning round 2 on Saturday, the first-round leader, Matthew Wolff, now shares the lead with David Puig, who put on a stunning show during the second round. However, it’s not just these two that are garnering attention at the event!

On Saturday, in a sudden turn of events, the golf world witnessed a one-handed mishap with another LIV star, just inches away from the hole, and what followed was unexpected and undoubtedly heartbreaking, driving the golf world berserk!

LIV Golf star takes things too lightly on the course

Graeme McDowell, at one moment on Saturday, was five under and putting for par. While he was playing well, one slight blunder led to a mishap on the 16th, and what followed was a viral video on the internet of that moment!

At the 16th hole of the Old White, McDowell was seen struggling with a putt. About 20 feet away on the 507-yard par-4 16th at The Old White, he missed the putt and fell short by just a few inches. He was now just inches away from a par at the hole, but fate wasn’t with him.

What seemed like an almost certain putt turned out to be anything but. When the golf pro approached the ball as casually as ever and tried to putt it in those couple of inches with one hand, he failed!

Seconds later, however, he did find his one-handed putt, but at the cost of perhaps an easily avoidable bogey! The 2010 U.S. Open winner followed that mishap with par at his final two and finished with a 2-under 68. His casual actions, however, have left the Twitter audience furious and in a frenzy!
