Major champ Maja Stark snapped her putter in anger as frustrations boiled over at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. TV images displayed the Swedish star cracking the flat stick off her own bag during the final round in Texas and the head flew off leaving her to putt on a subsequent hole with a wedge. Earlier this month, Stark held off the late challenge from Nelly Korda to win the US Open at Erin Hills and bag her first Major. But it’s been nothing as smooth this week at PGA Frisco’s Fields Ranch East with searing heat, swirling winds and tricky pin positions on rock-hard putting surfaces causing torturously long rounds of six hours and snapping the patience of the best. Ironically, Stark spoke during the tournament about the competitive “demon” coming out in her as looked to go back-to-back in big ones. Speaking on Friday, she said: “When we started playing and I had a tough start, I was like: 'Okay, but I just won the US. Open, so it’s fine.' But then the little competitive demon came alive inside me, so now I want to win this one, too, like real bad.” However, Stark’s mood turned dark with the putter appearing to bear the brunt of her annoyance as she struggled badly on the final day and slipped down the standings. while Minjee Lee triumphed. Korda let her feelings be known prior to the final round as she slammed ridiculous slow play and called conditions at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship as brutal. Fans and TV viewers are being turned off in droves by the slug-like rounds and Korda said: “I think we played a two ball in like six hours. "That’s just a little ridiculous, but, what can you do? Trust me, it’s so brutal out here. The greens are so firm. It’s blowing 30 to 35 miles an hour. "It’s messing with your putts. You’re just happy to get 18 under your belt on a day like this.” Ex-Solheim Cup skipper Stacey Lewis , who missed the cut after a difficult two days, also didn’t hold back the previous day saying the set-up was making the best ladies in golf look silly and the two-time Major winner slaughtered the resultant pace of play. Lewis says such situations offer no positive advertisement to the watching fans on-course and at home at a time when the ladies game is looking larger audiences and grow their status. She moaned: “The issue of this all too is, make us look good. We’re trying to get more people to watch women’s golf, to watch us play golf and setups like this, they don’t help us. "This is when we have our biggest stages, network TV and all of that and we’re making very good players look silly.”
