The game at the WGC Match Play event between Keegan Bradley and Miguel Angel Jimenez was marred by an heated exchange between the two players.
After Bradley had been given a drop on the final hole, Jimenez disputed the position of his next shot, which resulted in an exchange with the American's caddie Steve Hale.
The conversation ended with Jimenez telling Hale to "shut up", which led to Bradley stepping in to defend Hale, but tensions boiled over further after the conclusion of the hole.
The disagreement between Bradley and Jimenez continued before the 2011 PGA champion and his caddie stormed off the course.
Jimenez won the match by a 2-Up scoreline, but both players were eliminated from the tournament in San Francisco.
