Sergio Garcia showed his temper on the course at the 146th Open Championship Friday.

Garcia didn’t have a strong first round, shooting 73 Thursday at the Royal Birkdale golf course in Southport, England. But things got interesting in the second round with Garcia.

Garcia managed to get his ball out of the gorse, but wasn’t able to handle his emotions. He took his golf club and slammed it into a tall bush before grabbing his right shoulder.

“It wasn’t very smart. To be totally honest, I thought I was done,” Garcia told Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis. “It was a little sore on the next tee. I got a little bit of work done on the 8th tee. Fortunately it started loosening up as the round went on. It still feels a little bit sore.”

Despite injuring himself, Garcia bounced back on the second. He went on to shoot a 1-under 69, which put him at 2 over for the tournament. Garcia was eight strokes behind Jordan Spieth, who is current in the lead.
