“Buddy, when he’s over a shot shut the hell up man,” Horschel shouted.
“He’s attempting to hit a rattling golf shot right here – it’s our f****** job.”
"I'm simply sick of it, simply shut up!"

The WM Phoenix Open is well the very best attended match on the PGA Tour, however the behaviour of some followers has once more attracted extra consideration than the golf itself.
One man was arrested after leaping over the ropes and diving right into a greenside bunker on the par-three sixteenth, the place he proceeded to carry out ‘snow angels’ within the sand.
Match officers have been pressured to close spectator gates sooner than deliberate after being overwhelmed by the turnout and gross sales of alcohol have been quickly halted.
