Sergio Garcia played most of his final round at The Open Championship on Sunday without his driver.

The veteran Garcia, frustrated by his tee shot on the second hole at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland, slammed his driver into the ground and it split in half.

Players are not able to replace a club that is broken in anger during a round.

So how did the driver-less Garcia, 45, fare on Sunday, short a key club? Better than he did in the first three rounds.

Despite the poor tee shot, Garcia wound up making birdie on the par-5 No. 2, one of five birdies on the day. With two bogeys, he shot 68, his only sub-70 round of the week.

The Spaniard finished The Open at 3-under 281.
