"Trash!"; "2 strokes normaly" - Fans call out Jake Knapp's explosive moment at the Mexico Open

Jake Knapp struggled with his game during the second round of the 2025 Mexico Open. The American golfer teed off as the defending champion at this week's PGA Tour, which started with its opening round on Thursday, February 20.

Knapp had a decent start to his game, playing the opening round of 67. However, he struggled during the second round of the tournament and endured a hard time on the par-3 ninth hole.

Jake Knapp took his first on the hole, but the ball landed in a bunker. He tried to hit the ball again, but it bounced back into the bunker. Visibly frustrated with his shot, he made another attempt, only to make a bogey on the hole.

A golf fan account shared a video of Jake Knapp's struggle on the ninth hole on its X (formerly Twitter).

Fans jumped to the comment section to talk about his shot, with one fan writing:

"Trash! Never seen a bigger meltdown ever," they commented.

"2 strokes normaly," a fan wrote.

One fan was critical of Knapp's shot, while another fan took a jibe at him, saying he was expecting the golfer to toss his club.

"Pretty domeless on his part tbh," one more fan said.

"Is there more to this? I was expecting a tossed club or something," another fan said.

Some more fans were critical of Knapp's performance.

"fun for my DFS teams," a fan jotted.

"moron!" another added.

Jake Knapp ended up making a bogey on the hole. However, despite the struggle, he made the cut and will play the final two rounds over the weekend.
