Talley tapped her putter on her left shoe after making bogey on the hole, something she claims she does routinely out of habit after a missed opportunity. However, the putter snapped this time.
After her round, Talley remarked, "Yeah, that was just a random accident." I whacked my putter on my toe, but it wasn't even that hard. I wish I had broken it out of crazy, but it wasn't even that bad.
Talley bogeyed two of the final three holes while putting with her wedge, finishing with a 6-over 78.
She thinks the club broke quickly on Thursday due to her long-standing habit of tapping her putter repeatedly on her toe and tapping sand off her shoe after exiting a greenside bunker.
However, Talley said after her round that the putter had broken off to a length of approximately a foot, making it difficult for her to use.
Talley started crying on the course following the event, and she was still crying when she spoke with a group of reporters after her round. She claims that the tears were primarily caused by shame because she doesn't want her fans, especially young ones, to perceive her like a furious golfer.
