Frustrated Brooke Henderson smashes club in two pieces at KPMG Women’s PGA Championship

Brooke Henderson needed to get off to a fast start on Sunday at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship if she wanted to apply any pressure on So Yeon Ryu, who entered the final round three shots ahead of the rising star from Canada. After making three bogeys on her first six holes, Henderson put herself in a big hole, leading to an uncharacteristic moment of frustration on the 11th hole that the 20-year-old is going to wish she had back.
Looking to gain some ground at the short par-5 11th, a hole Henderson could take advantage of with her length, she got too aggressive, flying the green with her second shot and failing to get on the green in three. Facing a tricky chip with the green sloping away from her on her fourth shot, Henderson rolled one about 12 feet past the hole and had officially had enough of her wedge, slamming it against her bag and snapping it in two pieces:

Somehow, the reigning PGA champion's approach shot came to rest on a bridge behind the 18th green, a spot it'd be impossible to stop your ball if you were actually trying. Thomas took advantage of the good break by clipping a perfect chip that was tracking the entire way to the hole. Check it out:

Had it dropped, it would have made Thomas one of just five players in the field to birdie the hole in the final round. It also would have moved him into the top 5 in his French Open debut, but he wound up with a final-round 71, good enough fo..
