Golf is arguably the most frustrating sport on the planet, even for the people making millions to play it.
Case in point: Jon Rahm uncorking a monumental F-bomb after missing a putt for birdie at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.
Rahm — the 2021 U.S. Open champ — got his tournament off to a solid start on Thursday, finishing the day 2-under.

Friday? Well, I think this clip is a good distillation of his day.

That’s a bummer, but I love this.
It just goes to show that getting pissed off at missing makeable putts is a universal part of golf.
