I'm not sure the crowd didn't hand Brooks that trophy.

DJ damn near shanks his tee shot on 17 when some yahoo yells at the top of his backswing. Then again at 18.

I know, Koepka was the best player all week and deserved to win, but that behavior was BS

So them chanting "DJ, DJ, DJ" at Brooks when he hit it over the green on 14 was all part of their plan?

The Ryder Cup is going to be brutal for the Euros in 2024.

They were generally assholes all week. Didn’t really matter who was playing

Welcome to a sporting event in NY. I loved them calling Molinari “Frankie” EY yo Frankie

Not in his backswing, nope.

I kept having the same thoughts about the Ryder Cup. It's going to be cringeworthy TV. Can't wait

ETA: I'm sure they did yell during Brooks swing at some point as well. The whole thing was over the line, imo.

What really bothered Varner and was completely out of his — and Koepka's control — were some fans yelling for Koepka to choke after Dustin Johnson drew close.

"I have a few choice words for that," said Varner, whose week began with plans to play a practice round with Woods on the eve of the tournament until Woods called in sick. "I thought it was pretty weird how they were telling Brooks to choke. That's not my cup of tea. I was pulling for him after that." Koepka hasn't done anything to deserve this, has he? If this keeps up, pretty soon the Championship will be as bad as the Wasted Open


This is what Varner thought about it.

I agree with Harold. But he was +12 by that point, so he had a big case of the red-arse already

I followed Bruce, Frankie, and Tiger for a few holes on Friday. The amount of noise and talking while Bruce and Frankie were trying to hit was insane, while it was mostly quiet for Tiger. At one point I guy yelled “I love you tiger” while frankie was about to take his club back. shite was ridiculous.

Some Euros are gonna get their feelings hurt during the Ryder Cup. Rahm could be a prime candidate to blow a fuse

Would love for security to throw somebody out for this. Heard one guy yell Saturday after Koepka hit his shot. "Get in the bunker"!

Yea Rahm is going to lose it.

Frankie was actually a great sport. He joked with the fans some and laughed at quite a few of the dumb things people were screaming. He seems like a good dude.

why is golf the only sport that requires the spectators to be quiet?
no wonder golf is losing audiences...

There’s actually a ton of noise at golf tournaments and the players have gotten used to playing through it. At this point fans don’t need to be quiet, they just need to avoid loud or sudden noises that can cause a player to flinch while swinging.

Constant noise is not the problem. It’s the screaming in the backswing. That shite fricks with you.

hard to believe that a pro golfer would have such a low level of concentration that they would be affected by any noise, constant or sudden, or be able to block it out...
