Golf is arguably the most frustrating sport on the planet, even for the people making millions to play it.
Case in point: Jon Rahm uncorking a monumental F-bomb after missing a putt for birdie at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.
Rahm — the 2021 U.S. Open champ — got his tournament off to a solid start on Thursday, finishing the day 2-under.

Friday? Well, I think this clip is a good distillation of his day.
When the Spaniard arrived on the ninth hole, he had already missed some crucial putts for birdie and par, and unfortunately, the trend continued.
His birdie putt missed just right, which led to Rahm flipping his club before belting out a hearty, “F–k off!”
That’s a bummer, but I love this.
It just goes to show that getting pissed off at missing makeable putts is a universal part of golf.

If you only listened to the audio from that clip, you wouldn’t know if that was Jon Rahm missing a putt at the U.S. Open, or me missing one down at the pitch and putt.
I’ll be honest, I think I’ve said that on mini golf courses.
Getting it into the giant squid’s mouth on the first shot is tricky as hell.
Unfortunately for Mr. Rahm, things got worse.
While he managed to sink the next putt for par, he bogeyed five straight holes on the back nine.
Couple that with the three bogeys he made on the front nine, and it adds up to a 78, leaving him at 6-over for the tournament and on the wrong side of the cut line.
So, a pretty frustrating week for Rahm, one that he is probably happy is over after a completely disastrous Friday.
