VIDEO: George Coetzee losing his driver head among 4th Round strange sights

The early hours of the 115th U.S. Open's final round has already seen its fair share of unusual moments.

George Coetzee went to the 11th hole Sunday 4-over for his day, 11-over for the tournament and well out of contention. With his hopes of a major victory already lost, he would also wave his driver head good bye on this tee shot which can be seen rolling to Coetzee's right.

Coetzee losing his head, literally.

Thankfully, playing partner Jim Furyk was kind enough to pick up the broken end of his club and even lent the South African his own driver later in the round.

Also Sunday, Billy Horschel did not shy away from showing his displeasure with the frustrating Chambers Bay greens, while Marcus Fraser decided he'd had enough of his ball en route to a final round 76, hitting it into the Puget Sound.

Meanwhile, Chris Kirk made a lot of amateur golfers feel good about themselves by managing a rare sextuple bogey on his first hole of the day. He needed six tries to finally get his ball up the slope and safely on the green close to the hole. Phil Mickelson was also struggling, whiffing on this chip.

When you forget to hit the ball.

With the minutes winding down until the leaders hit the course, it will be intriguing to see how the players hold themselves together through the rest of the day.
