Haotong Li will be in deep trouble tonight – with the European Tour and with his mother – after breaking his club and tossing into the water at the Open de France.
The incident happened on the 11th green when Li snapped his putter and discarded into the hazard followinga bogey four. No one saw what happened next coming …

‘I don’t think il (sic) ever see a players mum trying to rescue a snapped putter from a pond again,’ Tyrrell Hatton wrote on Twitter.
‘Absolutely much (sic) watch this… priceless… she thought she was getting a nice new club…,’ Ian Poulter tweeted, unaware at the time that the woman was Li’s mother.
Li played the final seven holes level, including one birdie, using his wedge as a putter.
