At the AT&T National earlier today, I was out following the group of Arron Oberholser, Stuart Appleby, and Brandt Snedeker. All three of the players struggled, but it was the startling behavior of Oberholser that stuck with many of the fans after Friday's action.
It all started on the 12th hole when Oberholser had a putt from less than 5-feet for par. He asked a woman to stop moving behind the hole, and subsequently missed the putt. He walked toward the 13th tee, slamming his putter against the bag twice.
Then, on the 13th tee box, Oberholser said:
The next person who moves is getting putted upside the freakin' head.
Later, after missing a makeable birdie putt on 15, Oberholser threw his putter a good 25-30 ft. toward his bag in frustration.
Oberholser has been afflicted with two majors injuries the past year--one involving his left hand, and the other involving his right shoulder. It's been a long, frustrating year for Oberholser, but that's no excuse.
