Ponte Vedre, FL …

Double Major winning Jordan Spieth was so fuming he bizarrely snapped a mobile pic of a badly raked bunker on day one of the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Florida.

The American dug deep into his bag and pulling out his phone on the first very first hole and after finding a greenside bunker on route to a double bogey ‘6’ and then an eventual one over par 73.

Tour rules state that a player cannot be seen to be using his phone in case of seeking ‘outside advice’ but then in this scenario the current World No. 5 there was no breach.

And after signing his card and showing the pic to officials Spieth revealed the reasons for his actions.

“It was just a bunker that was raked to where it just kind of looked like somebody didn’t really care much to do it or were rushing off the green, because I had, I was, I think, in worse than a plugged lie, when it just trickled into it,” he said.

“And I overreacted probably a bit, but all in all, you just don’t see that very often and I know my guy, Michael (caddy) rakes and makes sure that that’s exactly the way that it was when he went in there, so that if you hit it in the bunker, everybody gets the same kind of thing.

“And you don’t see it — guys are very good 99.9 percent of the time and that was very frustrating, because I knew where I was, from a normal lie, it wasn’t too bad; and from that lie I had no chance.

“So, it was a frustrating time in the round there where I was trying to kind of get some momentum going.”

American William McGirt enjoyed the early clubhouse lead in sauna-like conditions and posting a five under par 67.
