Korn Ferry Tour veteran Ryan McCormick used an unconventional method to try and calm his temper during the second round of the Club Car Championship on Friday. 

McCormick, who competed on the PGA Tour last year but was relegated back to the developmental this year, has admittedly had issues keeping his composure on the golf course. This week at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club in Georgia, he decided to test out some new anger management tools.

And so, he taped his mouth shut.

"Been having not-so-fun time this year on the golf course. Pretty angry and mad," he said in a video shared by the tour on social media. "I figured I've tried a lot of things, and I just figured I'd shut myself up. So, I put tape over my mouth."

"Just too angry on the golf course. I've run out of ideas, and I thought about the tape thing a couple of weeks ago," he added with a laugh. "So, just unfortunately, it came down to that today. I was hoping maybe it would help me. Can't say that it did or didn't."

McCormick said the idea stemmed from his desire to create a better environment for his playing partners, which he admitted was "not fair."
