Spaniard Jimenez looks set to be penalized after he threwhis 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 Jimenezand Stensonto be fined for ""conduct unbecoming a professional.""
