McIlroy, Fowler, Thomas trade jabs on Twitter over club toss
Justin Thomas' emotions got the better of him on Sunday at the WGC-Mexico Championship, when he accidentally tossed his driver into the crowd.
After his round of 72 and fifth-place finish, the 23-year-old explained his emotions and apologized for doing it.
Yes I'm an emotional player. It's in my character and always has been, I'll always have fire in me. Sorry to those offended by my actions

Rory McIlroy, who was in Thomas' group, decided to have some fun with the incident.

Thomas responded and took a jab at McIlroy about his club toss at Doral in 2015.

Ironically, both tosses came at the same event.
It also appears that a shirt is in the works:
