Max Homa says players breaking clubs makes them all look “very, very spoiled” after Sergio Garcia smashed his driver at The Masters.

“But again, this is a very frustrating game, and it happens. So I don’t know where I’d draw that line exactly, but I definitely think beating up a golf course would be probably tops just because the rest of us have to play it.”
