Nope I definately don't they are correct, Mannasero is by ET website the youngest and 2nd youngest winner on ET and Crenshaw himself stated that was the silliest thing he'd done in a major

The leading exponent of hitting oneself with a golf club is Aquaman himself, Woody Austin's furious whacking upside the head with his putter following a Harbour Town effort is a video classic.

Crenshaw never learned from his mistake, knocking the blade of his putter a year later during his RC singles match with Eamonn Darcy.
