Rhein Gibson was on the final hole of the Bahamas Great Abaco Classic on Wednesday and after making a mistake, threw his club cover at his caddie.
Wow, even I treated my caddies with more respect than this guy. pic.twitter.com/gFeTiRGM3b

He later apologized on Twitter, the ultimate platform to say I’m sorry. We knew that was coming.
Unfortunately my caddy was involved with a ruling on the 18th that caused me to fall from t2 to 3rd. My actions were less then professional and I apologize to my caddy and those that took offense to my behaviors.

Then the Caddy denied making a mistake.

Wasn't even a penalty…. Rules official screwed up, Decision 26.1/9 states that if it's assumed it won't be played a caddy can pick it up without the players' permission without penalty. We'd already picked our drop spot, we weren't playing it!

Good luck getting another gig, especially after calling out the rules on your golfer. What a mess.
Here’s exactly what happened … Ball was dead underneath two rocks and I told you about it and you said “(expletive)” and turned around stopped looking and walked back to the bag. The tour official actually found the unhittable ball. I then went over and quickly retrieved it. 100% fact.
