Just talked to a volunteer, Tristan Chang, who witnessed Joaquin Niemann’s club throw that cost him a two-shot penalty:
-After hitting two balls OB, Niemann tried to get free relief from fire ants (to no avail) from where his third drive ended up in the fescue
-Got visibly angry and kicked the white flag that another volunteer used to mark his ball
-Continued to kick around the sand
-Proceeded to chuck his iron from the fescue area approximately 50 yards to the very edge of the course on the right
-Almost did not walk back for the club until a police officer delivered it to him
“Pretty impressive throw,” Chang said.
