Erik van Rooyen issued an apology on Twitter for his tantrum at last week's PGA Championship. After hitting his tee shot into the water at the par-3 17th in Round 2, the 31-year-old South African twice smashed a tee box marker, also sending it into the water.
“Hey everyone, I’ve been quiet on here whilst I’ve done some reflecting,” van Rooyen said in a statement. “My actions at the PGA Championship were unacceptable. I would like to apologise to my team, my sponsors, the PGA of America and the fans for letting you and myself down.
