Graham DeLaet has spent the first few days of Open Championship week tweeting his displeasure at an airline for losing his most important luggage.
Ok @AerLingus, enough is enough. I kind of need my golf clubs for @TheOpen. How is it possible to not even know where it is? #figureitout

He found a spare set of Titleist sticks to use for a Monday practice round, but it obviously wasn't the custom set that he uses for success on the most competitive Tour in the world. Finally, after what he said was a 54-hour wait, the bag arrived.

Unfortunately, that was tweeted prematurely and DeLaet would soon find that the late arrival was only part of the problem with his clubs.
After 20 minutes of WTF guessing about how his clubs ended up looking like they were dragged across the bottom of the ocean on their way over to Scotland, DeLaet confirmed that the mess was the result of a protein powder explosion.
