Billy Horschel’s 2021 Masters didn’t go all that great.
He did make the cut, but he finished in 50th place and had to go barefoot not once but twice to hit shots out of the water, and he slipped down a hill the first time.
There was also video caught of him slamming one of his irons into his golf bag in fury, and it appears that’s what he was apologizing for — to fans, Augusta National, its members and patrons — on Twitter after the end of the Masters.
Here’s video of the club slam and his subsequent apology he sent on Twitter:

I am and have always been a fiery competitor. Unfortunately, the fire inside me sometimes runs hot when I’m not getting the most out of my game. This leads to some instances where my conduct is not what I wish to show, especially as a role model to the younger generation. pic.twitter.com/YJfMqE6IS7

I apologize to Augusta National, the Members of the Club and to the patrons for any conduct that may have crossed the line. I am always trying to improve and do better; as a golfer, husband, father, or as a human being. Thank you @TheMasters for a memorable week!
