In golf, spectators are very close, and even if they’re not directly talking to you, they’re close enough to where if they say to their buddy, ‘I bet you 10 bucks he’s going to miss it,’ you hear it.” “That happens way more often than you guys may hear,” Rahm told reporters Tuesday at East Lake Golf Club. Jon Rahm noted it’s been pretty common to hear taunts from the gallery over betting while they’re actively participating on the links. “I made it right in the middle, and then I just started yelling at him.” “And he kept yelling - one of them had $3 for me to make mine - and I got to the back of my back stroke and he yelled, ‘Pull it!’ pretty loud. “There was a probably drunk - I hope, for his case, or else he’s just he biggest loser there is - but he was cheering and yelling at Chris for missing his putt short,” Homa said after the incident. Apparently, it had to do with something as trivial as a $3 bet on Homa’s putt. Homa detailed what went down with the unruly spectator, who tried messing with him verbally as he putt on the tournament’s 17th hole at Olympia Fields. PGA Tour president Tyler Dennis confirmed to ESPN this week that a fan had been ejected from this past weekend’s BMW Championship for yelling something at golfer Max Homa on Saturday about a sports bet while the latter was putting on the green. Getting kicked out of a professional sporting event is never ideal, but doing so while trying to taunt an athlete about a bet you placed on them is just next-level embarrassing.
