But his day quickly unravelled and in his view his clubs went from heroes to villains.

As the day progressed Murray tumbled down the order, which culminated in him launching his club at hole seven following a quadruple-bogey.

However, more was to come from the American, as his poor golfing saw the red mist descend at hole 10.

The furious 28-year-old snapped his club over his leg, leaving him with less clubs than he started the day with.
