Golfer speaks out after angrily withdrawing from Royal Troon Open
Romain Langasque speaks out after withdrawing mid-round.
Romain Langasque gave an explanation after leaving the British Open on the eighth hole following a disastrous tee shot from just 84 yards. The Frenchman finished his time at Royal Troon with a score of four-over par after eight holes, but later revealed his reasons for leaving the course. Langasc was one of several golfers who struggled with the poor weather in Scotland, but came into the tournament in good form having finished third in last week’s Scottish Open with a score of 15-under par. Returning to the eighth, the 29-year-old found himself well short of the 120-yard par 3. He then walked up to the green on the shortest hole, then turned to his caddie and shook his head. He was heard to say “I’m done,” before walking over to his playing partners CT Pang and Yuto Katsuragua, removing his baseball cap and stalking off mid-turn.
