Adam Hadwin is not the funny one in the family. We all know that. He’s the pro golfer, works hard at his job and is the frequent target of droll jokes by his wife, Jessica, on her X account. Very little that Adam Hadwin does is going to go viral, unless it’s Jessica commenting on it. But the 37-year-old golfer pulled off something on his own Friday that is so hilarious that it’s going to stick with him for decades, and we can’t wait to hear what his wife has to say about it.

In the second round of the Valspar Championship, with Hadwin on his way to missing the cut at five over following a Friday 76, he was caught not on the broadcast, but by a fan, producing a very angry two-handed wedge slam into the ground. No big deal, since we’ve seen a putter punt and whipped club throw this week at Innisbrook.
But Hadwin has the misfortune of hitting down on a sprinkler head, and water immediately comes shooting up in two directions. Some guys might have kept walking, but Hadwin turns—and this is where it gets out-loud laughable, as the audio proves—he tries to step on the sprinkler head to make it stop. That doesn’t help, and for a few seconds Hadwin stands there, amid the spray, embarrassed and knowing that he’s experiencing golf karma at is funniest and cruelest.
We think we hear him mutter, “sorry,” and unfortunately, the 37-second video ends on a cliffhanger, Hadwin still kneeling by the sprinkler, and us not knowing how or if he solved the water works before moving on.
Through sickness and health. Amen. pic.twitter.com/3NsMJA3eHH
