STENSON AND JIMENEZ SET TO BE FINED FOR CLUB-THROWING
FROM THE BT YAHOO SPORT SERVICE
The European Tour is set to fine Henrik Stenson and Miguel Angel Jimenez over recent club-throwing incidents.
Spaniard Jimenez looks set to be penalised after he threw his putter in a bout of frustration during last week's Volvo Champions event in Bahrain.
The four-times Ryder Cup player snapped the head off the putter but then birdied three of his closing six holes on day two of the event using a wedge.
Swede Stenson hurled a wedge back over his head into a water hazard after taking a 9 at his final hole during Friday's Qatar Masters second round.
A tournament official said they would look at footage of the incidents and expected both Jimenez and Stenson to be fined for "conduct unbecoming a professional".
