Fans and commentators have noticed an alarming trend this season.\u00a0 During the US Open, Rory McIlroy tossed his club<\/a>, and Wyndham Clark damaged a locker<\/a>.\u00a0 During the PGA Championship, Clark threw his club at a sign in frustration.\u00a0 Brooks Koepka had a moment during the LIV Dallas Tournament<\/a> where he swung at a tee marker and almost hit some spectators with the marker.\u00a0 Now Justin Rose has joined the list during the Genesis Scottish Open when he took a swing at his bag and almost hit his own caddie in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Happened at The Scottish Open<\/span><\/h2>\n

During the third round at the Genesis Scottish Open, Justin Rose had a very strong start.\u00a0 Within the first six holes, he managed to shoot three birdies<\/a>.\u00a0 A great way to start the second half of a tournament.\u00a0 However, it came crashing down with three back-to-back bogeys, leaving the Englishman frustrated.\u00a0 The ninth hole looked like it was going to be a shoo-in for Rose until his ball bounced into a bunker.\u00a0 Although it was next to the green, unfortunately, when he got out of the bunker, he was still twenty feet away from the hole, ruining a chance for a par.\u00a0 He then proceeded to hit his bag with his club, barely missing his caddie\u2019s hand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Justin Rose\u2019s Normal Behavior<\/span><\/h2>\n

This outburst came as a shock to many fans.\u00a0 Sure, he has had his fair share of bad shots, but he has always kept himself grounded while looking forward.\u00a0 After the Masters, he was lauded for his message to Rory McIlroy<\/a>, congratulating him on his win and career grand slam. No one was expecting his emotions to get the best of him.\u00a0 He did manage to collect himself by the end of the tournament.\u00a0 Rose managed to finish solidly in the top ten with sixth place, while Chris Gotterup took home the grand prize<\/a>.\u00a0 Rose\u2019s fourth round was bogey-free with seven birdies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rose Highlights An Issue<\/span><\/h2>\n

Traditionally, golf has been seen as a gentleman\u2019s sport.\u00a0 All players are expected to keep a level head and respond appropriately to what happens on the field.\u00a0 Rose is normally the model example of just that, but he slipped up.\u00a0 He did get back on track, but it also highlighted something to note.\u00a0 There are players this year who have done much worse.\u00a0 Compared to them, Rose still kept himself contained despite the near miss.\u00a0 The above examples put people in danger while also damaging the player’s surroundings.\u00a0 Rose kept it directed at his own bag.\u00a0 Sure, there have been consequences for players like Wyndham Clark, but there are now calls for this behavior to be clamped down on.\u00a0 Whenever one of those videos goes viral, there are always calls for a suspension.\u00a0 Especially when something goes flying.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Justin Rose may have lost his cool, but he managed to move past that moment.\u00a0 He will receive some criticism for it, but he seems equipped to do better in the future.\u00a0 As for the other players who lost their cool this year.\u00a0 Hopefully, this is just an outlier year, and it will be addressed.<\/span><\/p>\n
