U.S. Open 2019: Patrick Reed snaps club over knee after flubbed chip image

Golfers around the world can relate to Patrick Reed after he destroyed a wedge at the U.S. Open on Friday.

Reed tried to chip out of rough from off the 18th green at Pebble Beach, but he hit the ball thin and the shot stayed in the tall grass. 

That angered Reed, who decided to imitate a baseball player after a frustrating strikeout.

To make this even more glorious, here's a super slo-mo replay.  

Reed double-bogeyed the hole to leave him at 2 over par for the tournament, which is right on the projected cut line.

Twitter, which wins every major, had jokes.
