DOHA (Reuters) - The European Tour is set to fine Henrik Stenson and Miguel Angel Jimenez over recent club throwing incidents.
Spaniard Jimenez looks set to be penalised after he threw his putter in a bout of frustration during last week's Volvo Champions event in Bahrain.
The four-times Ryder Cup player snapped the head off the putter but then birdied three of his closing six holes on day two of the event using a wedge.
Swede Stenson hurled a wedge back over his head into a water hazard after taking a nine at his final hole during Friday's Qatar Masters second round.
A tournament official said they would look at footage of the incidents and expected both Jimenez and Stenson to be fined for "conduct unbecoming a professional".
