Furious Jon Rahm stares down drunk LIV Golf spectator
Jon Rahm got visibly annoyed with a rowdy spectator during the second round of LIV Golf United Kingdom.
The moment arrived on the par-4 16th at JCB Golf & Country Club in Staffordshire.
Rahm was faced with a treacherous chip with not much green to work with.
As he was stood over his third shot, some well-lubricated fans distracted him as he took a number of practice swings.
Cries of ‘Golf but Louder’ could be heard from the stands.
A spectator appeared to make another comment just as the 2023 Masters champion regained his composure.
It sounded as though the comment was about Rahm’s weight.
Rahm threw up his arms as if to say, ‘Come on, man!’
It appeared Rahm’s caddie Adam Hayes then took matters into his own hands by saying: “Yeah, it’s ‘Golf but Louder’ but not when you’re yelling in our f—ing backswing, d—head.”
The breakaway tour is billed as ‘Golf but Louder’.
It was not immediately clear if Hayes made that comment.
But the LIV commentators heard what was said and agreed with the retort.
“We’ve all thought it,” said Jerry Foltz.
Added David Feherty: “Somebody was getting the hairy eyeball there…”
Rahm eventually made a bogey on the hole.
He went on to sign for a second round score of 1-under 70.
That left him in a tie for fourth with Paul Casey on 9-under after 36 holes.
American Andy Ogletree led with 18 holes left to play on 12-under.
Tyrrell Hatton, Louis Oosthuizen, Cameron Smith, Talor Gooch and Brooks Koepka were also inside the top-10.
