Don’t tell Abraham Ancer that he doesn’t care about how he plays now that’s he’s joined LIV Golf.

The 33-year-old Mexican melted down on Sunday, letting his emotions get the better of him after chunking a critical shot late in his round at LIV Golf Andalucia at Valderrama in Spain.

Ancer, a member of Team Fireballs, who were clinging to the lead in the team portion of competition, was short of the green on the fifth hole, his 17th hole of the day, when he decelerated and chunked his pitch short of the green. That would eventually lead to a costly bogey, but it’s what happened next that will make highlight shows: Ancer chucked his club in disgust and it likely covered more distance than his ball. It’s the leader in the clubhouse for the best club toss of the year.

High marks for Ancer’s technique but he forgot Tommy Bolt’s famous advice to always throw a club forward so you don’t have to walk back – or in Ancer’s case to the side – to fetch it.

Ancer, who shot 72, answered with a chip-in on the next hole and he and teammate David Puig helped the Fireballs to victory in a playoff in the team portion of the LIV competition.

It’s not the first time Ancer’s let loose in anger this year. He showed his versatility as a club tosser with this two-handed, overhand tomahawk. But his latest effort topped it. Nearly half the year still remains to see if he can do one even better.
