Matt Wallace and his caddie, Samuel Bernard, were caught on camera having a huge bust up on the 18th hole at Innisbrook’s Copperhead Course during the third round of the Valspar Championship.
According to Golf Channel’s Cara Banks, who spoke to both Wallace and his looper after the round, the heated conversation involved Wallace’s decision to play his ball off of the cart path, rather than taking a free drop.

“He was frustrated that Sam questioned whether or not he should take a drop before that second shot,” said Banks. “He felt he should just play it as it lies, as he did, and Sam questioning him interfered with his flow. But, he got his head back in the game, helped him get up and down to save par, so all is well heading into Sunday.”
The duo were later shown embracing near the practice green following the conclusion of the round, with Wallace just three strokes off the lead as he targets a first win on the PGA Tour.
