PGA Tour pro Adam Hadwin has made amends with the course crew at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club after he let his frustrations at the Valspar Championship get the best of him last week.
During the second round of the tournament, the 37-year-old Canadian broke a sprinkle on the course after he smashed his club into the ground on the 10th hole, which he would ultimately two-putt for a double bogey.

The scene, perhaps not at the time for Hadwin, was comical as water sprayed everywhere with Hadwin attempting to push the sprinkler head back into the ground. He was unsuccessful.
The sprinkler was eventually turned off and Hadwin finished the day five-over par, missing the cut by three shots. But on Friday, the Valspar Championship revealed that the pro golfer had paid for the damages and apologized for his outburst with some lunch on him.
"In addition to paying for all repairs to @Innisbrook sprinklers, our 2017 champ, @ahadwingolf sent a video message & bought lunch for the entire course maintenance department," the post on X read.
