'You had one job’ – golfer's club gets broken on drive to playoff hole

Anne Van Dam was on her way to a final playoff at the Women's Irish Open when disaster struck. She was being driven by an official, who drove under a rope which caught her golf bag and snapped her driver in half. 'You had one freaking job,' said Van Dam after inspecting the broken driver.

Incredibly, this was the second driver the Dutch golfer has lost this week – the first was broken on the flight to Ireland. Unable to use her preferred club on the par-five playoff hole, she used a three wood instead, and lost out to Denmark's Smilla Sønderby, who had started the day nine shots behind overnight leader Van Dam in County Clare.
