Players Championship: Keith Mitchell had an all-time bad break when he drove his ball in the water, slammed club in frustration seconds before horn blows

Keith Mitchell

You want to talk about bad beats, well, Keith Mitchell suffered one of the worst ones in recent memory Friday.

Seconds before the horn blew to suspend play for the day due to inclement weather at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, during the second round of the Players Championship, Mitchell hit his tee shot on the par-4 5th, his 14th hole of the day.

He slammed his club in frustration as his ball sailed toward the water, eventually finding the hazard right of the fairway.

If he just waited two seconds, he would have been able to play the shot Saturday morning.

Play is scheduled to resume at 7 a.m. ET.
