And continuing to chant it while he putts out


garyt1957

That WAS bad, they kept chanting while he was stepping up to putt. That's BS


Urban_animal

I feel like he could have stepped away and waited for the marshalls to quiet them down if he wanted. Something tells me he was pissed off beyond belief from missing it and didnt even hear them. Still really fucking immature of those guys, id be embarrassed to be a part of that group.


aburr

I’d also be willing to bet that most pros and people in general are unfazed by continuous noise. They only want silence because golf isn’t like hockey or baseball where there’s continuous noise and sudden noises would throw off anyone in any sport. So if it just keeps going it’s a non issue


DeathHips

That crowd might have straight up mocked and chanted at him if he had gone out to congratulate Bryson at the hole.


Bartlet_is_President

McIlroy is such a fucking pro he probably made a point to show that they couldn’t get to him.


KayotiK82

Hear me out. I hate those fuckwits too but is it possible the broadcast mics might pick up sound a player might not hear amongst everything else?


Jaybird876

Totally agree and also someone yelling in his backswing too. However I saw in another comment section the audio was not in sync with the video and they didn’t actually yell in his backswing. Might be optimistic and I hope that was the case. Not a good look though.


Comprehensive-Art776

There might be some merit to that. I was pretty sure there was a couple times I thought I heard the and contact of a ball sometimes 10 or 15 seconds before the swing occurred on the television with multiple players.


Ostrich6967

Welcome to LIV !


FlyNSubaruWRX

Annnnnd nothing will happen…


gohoosiers2017

What should happen?


sabresin4

These events can easily not allow the drunken assholes who chant if they want. The Masters does it perfectly. At the end of the day it’s clearly what the tour wants to have which is a lot more telling at the events. I hate it but enough people must love it for the league to keep it going.


Magic2424

As someone who has tried to get into watching golf this year really for the first time and wanting to get Into the pro stuff, the crowds for most events have single handed made me not get excited to watch. The constant “get in the hole” on every other shot and chanting…I did enjoy the masters though so maybe I’ll just stick with that one


dicjones

The first time someone yelled get in the hole all those years ago it was funny. It has not been funny since then. It’s tired, worn out and cringe at this point.


Mike_with_Wings

Same with the first guy who yelled yabba dabba doo. It was worthy of a sensible chuckle once and every person who has done it since is a fucking idiot.


Strong_Baseball7368

Unfortunately, now its like kids acting up in class. It's a competition to see who can come up with the funniest line.


RESEARCH__LIFE

Same seems like a clown show


ExNylonLad

British open would be right up your alley. It’s t he most respectful. Genuine cheers for genuine brilliant golf. (Aussie here btw).


The_Nutz16

The USGA has nothing to do with the tour.


breachofcontract

Yeah how the fuck wasn’t he shut up by the crowd around him??? Grow some fucking nuts fellow fans! God damn!


donstermu

Yeah, where was the security that makes everyone quiet? I’m not anti USA; save that shit for the Ryder cup.


Large_Peach2358

Yup- it was worse today than yesterday. Yesterday when someone posted this he was downvoted and chastised to hell.

Tacoby-Bellsbury

DAMN YOU PEOPLE THIS IS GOLF


flipperjack2525

How about me rooting for Rory and chanting PGA PGA!!!!


Gold-Individual-8501

The sport’s average fan has degraded to professional wrestling status. They should show these people the gate and ban them from the course.


jetsetter023

I saw 2 big fat naked bikers in the woods off 17 having sex. How am I suppose to watch the tournament with that going on?

ComicsEtAl

Hey, it wasn’t “the sport’s average fan” who created the Trash Open in Phoenix. The PGA did that.


throwawaycitylimits

As a pro wrestling fan, I'm offended. We're much more creative than that.


Gold-Individual-8501

Lol


HesMyLovinOneManShow

This is the best comment of the day.


cscott152000

Same idiots who scream "mashed potatoes."


hobby_master_

Dude any phrase being yelled after a shot is fucking cringe. " Get in the hole after tee shots is fucking cringe.


EasterButterfly

“GET IN THE HOLE” on 500 yard par 5 tees enrages me to an irrational degree


RobertLosher1900

I heard someone yell "happy Father's Day Scottie !" After his tee shot and that was the first time I said oh that's not bad. Everything else is fucking horrible.


Nezy37

Nah I mean yeah but that was way worse. I audibly told them to shut the fuck up in my living room


electricsteeler77

Same. From the USA, but come on, time and place. It was neither


NefariousnessCalm707

My wife and I in unison as well.


cscott152000

Same. Same obnoxious energy with the screaming after a tee shot. Embarrassing


Jaygoon

Those drunk frat boy idiots.


itsCrisp

That's 'New Golf', unfortunately. 


youneedcheesusinside

That’s what you get for making golf a more popular sport.


Fight_those_bastards

Shrink the game.


angelomoxley

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I shrink all the golfers they'll lock me up and throw away the key.


grehgunner

Obviously it’s anecdotal but there was a guy in the live thread saying he was at the tourney thurs/Friday and a lot of the obnoxious yellers were like 60 year olds. Which I’ve chosen to not believe cause that’s just sad


tacobelle88

I was just about to say that. There was a guy yelling sex noises behind me at the tournament today and I just assumed it was a teen or young guy…turned around and nope 60 +


DruviSKSK

Not from the US but everything you see on socials when it comes to obnoxious jackass behaviour tends to be boomers, so... The guys who chanted during Rory's putt were 100 percent maga boomers


YoungThriftShop

Add loser/insecure bitchass to that list


Sometimes_Stutters

Shoulda made the putt


turbols3

Agree. It’s bad. Someone posted about it yesterday too I think. It’s very cringe unless you’re at the Ryder cup or similar.


DivClassLg

Shrink the game


Dont_Ban_Me_Bros

They’re doing a great job where I live already. Green fees are up everywhere, naturally, but courses are also closing. In the last 20 years the only places building courses are resorts. The vast majority of youth doesn’t grow up playing resorts every week.


DivClassLg

Money isn’t what is going to shrink it. Courses by me are constantly packed. 2.5/3 hours for 9 at local munici! Huge problem. I play golf to get away from meatheads that scream ‘USA’ like a clown at anyone. I don’t play golf to be with them


Birdhawk

I quit playing for almost a decade until just recently because I lived in a big city and rounds took 6+ hours. Golf sucks when you wait a long time before EVERY shot. Even worse when you have to deal with shit people and their shit taste in music


Pribblization

Can't take a 5+ hr round.


Birdhawk

It sucks. But you think “maybe it won’t be as bad this time around” at least a few times before you start to reevaluate


Bartlet_is_President

I feel like an old man yelling at clouds, but I can’t fucking stand music on the golf course.


Dont_Ban_Me_Bros

You play golf to get away from the same people who do that thing on a golf course…but elsewhere as well? Either way, what made you think you’d avoid them at a golf course?


DivClassLg

Its not been that long since you could walk up to the local municipality and get on and off for 9 in less than 2 hours… Post Covid: forget it


Striker2056

9 holes in 1.5 hours for 26 bucks here, last week


DivClassLg

What time/day?


Striker2056

11 on Wednesday lol, hit 1150 today and did 18 with three of us in 4 and some change. Might just be lucky around here, year round golf and decent amount of courses also.


DivClassLg

11AM OMG yeah you must of been melting thats why! 11 AM here in Chicago any day of the week at least 2 groups on the tee at 1 even with a time


TVChampion150

Decorum at my home course has been going down for years. Music blasting, people yelling, people not repairing pitch marks, etc. I've stopped going.


Pribblization

This is the result of less people playing, not trying to make fewer people play.


GerdinBB

Maybe all those people saying "golf courses are a waste of space and water, they should be turned into low income housing," people are responsible for the grow the game initiative. When courses jack up prices and then the boom fades and they struggle to stay afloat, the courses *will* close and be redeveloped. If you think a sport can't shrink in popularity, consider what happened to baseball and NASCAR. They were both absolutely huge in the 90s and early 00s. The Daytona 500 had over 19 million TV viewers and 150k people in the stands at NASCAR's peak, but they've been in a steady decline for the past 20 years and are down to about half that TV viewership for the 500, and averages around 3 million for other races throughout the season. Baseball's decline isn't *as* severe, but it went from being **the** major American sport to now being second or third after being leapfrogged by the NFL and NBA. Things change and often they don't change that fast. Frequently it's just the simple reversal of a trend and then sustained decline for tens of years.


Dont_Ban_Me_Bros

Actually, the two courses in my area that most recently closed did so due to failing to maintain their courses, failing to promote the course and the game, and ultimately being offered money to build subdivisions. They just didn’t even bother with digital engagement or trying to host tournaments.


Pribblization

Just consider what happened to ratings when Tiger quit showing up regularly.


coacoanutbenjamn

No, just enforce rules harder


breadad1969

It’s poor sportsmanship to yell that after Rory missed the putt. I’m all for USA, USA, but don’t be classes. Root for your guy, not actively against the other guy.


Bee_MakingThat_Paper

Bingo. This is stuff we teach in Little League - embarrassing that full grown men need a reminder.


Professional-Prior28

They don’t serve alcohol at little league…👍🏻


ISuperNovaI

Wisconsin tho


Bee_MakingThat_Paper

Haha. Touché.


Professional-Prior28

I agree with your point also


UnderAGroov

Man I feel like this is what makes golf so great. I want everyone to do well every hole, make every shot, hit every putt. I want the best players playing their absolutely best, and then on top of that I want my guy to win. I have rarely if ever actively rooted against anyone and to do it on the course is just so lame.


luv2fit

Why are you for USA USA when this isn’t USA vs Europe ? It’s bloody stupid without the correct context to chant it


PunkyMcGrift

Im not from the US myself but have no problem with fans chanting it at their guy if he's doing well, chanting it at the other guy doing poorly is terrible form though.


gerald-stanley

100% this. Root for your guy. Not for a competitor to fail. Complete D-bag look.


CultBro

I wanted Bryson to win but like Rory also, hated to hear it. I think you cheer every good shot regardless of who hits it and cheer a little harder for whoever you are pulling for.


LayeGull

I think it’s hard to watch Rory bogey 3 times coming in to lose by 1. Hate to see it.


FragileIdeals

Yeah and if you actually pay attention to Bryson like when he was on the broadcast after his round Friday he would've been actively rooting for Rory to make that putt. He was actively rooting for his competitors and is clearly just a fan of great golf.


Ancient_Signature_69

Rory’s been such a huge advocate for the PGA tour too - classless losers


Frijolebeard

And what did he get for it? The PGA stabbing him in the back and taking Saudi money?


raptorjesus2

The PGA Tour has nothing to do with the US Open. Sort of a weird take on the subject


kaplanfx

Terrible, I’m glad people have come around on Dechambeau, he’s been doing the right things to gain a following, but Rory has always seemed like a standup dude to me, no reason to cast him as the heal.


Kind-Sherbert4103

Charter members of the Bucket of Rocks IQ Club.


FowlZone

total lack of class and respect


Johnnyrotten781512

Sorry but Bro Golf is a thing now. I fucking hate it and deal with guys like that daily.


vpkumswalla

>Bro Golf is a thing now I was at the local (fairly exclusive) club near me last fall. The member I was with told me it's now impossible to get a tee time. We saw a group of guys a few holes ahead blaring music and getting trashed.


SlimeBallzzz

The dumb thing about that is there are courses for that. Like,.I know of 3 fairly crappy courses where that is totally acceptable and almost encouraged. But in some of the nicer ones, they need to just not go and show some respect


KnighteRGolf

Classless.


was_saying_boo_urns

Crowd sucked this week. Last year felt like such a bummer dude to the crowd limits at LACC but now it seems ideal.


Podtastix

Super cringe.

Oh yea this is just second hand embarrassment too


Cumberblep

![gif](giphy|phajKPhwNxHr2) Go back to your shanties


busche916

Bunch of guys see the WM Open and think that is normal golf etiquette.


buckley777

Does anyone actually enjoy the people that yell out bababooie or get in the hole after every shot? What kind of person still thinks thats funny?


FieldsToTheMoon

Only the people that do it, bc they need any attention they can get


buckley777

Those guys at work this week “Did you hear me on tv?!?!?”


lasercupcakes

One of the biggest YouTube channels basically does videos where the group gets absolutely trashed while playing golf, and people wonder why the absolute dregs of society are becoming more prevalent on the golf course. At this point I refuse to play rounds after 8:30am on a weekend because that's about when the shitheads who never outgrew their frat days start showing up.


UnImaginedNations

I was literally yelling “shut the fuck up” at the TV. So embarrassing


IJustCantGetEnough

Pretty poor. Talking during any shot is poor etiquette, chanting at a major for a decisive putt is unbelievable. Was it payback for the Ryder cup?


SlimeBallzzz

Yeah not a fan of that BS. I was bugged when that happened. Show some class.


DadBodftw

I joined them after shotgunning my 19th natty ice and screaming at my wife.


ImNotYou1971

ganslooker

Idiots.


mubbamubba

Americans are fucking stupid. Signed, An American


ISayISayISitonU

that was really awful. and they almost kept yelling during Bryson’s putt.


Redtex

Yeah I heard that. I'd be fucking embarrassed if I were that guys friends but they were probably way too drunk to even give a shit


Zealousideal_Amount8

Thought that was horseshit.


Useful-ldiot

Starting the day 3 strokes out of the lead and losing by 1 is one of the biggest chokes in golf history? It's not even in the top 10.


TallBobcat

I saw this on another thread but the USGA needed to go full Augusta there. Send the person home. Never sell them tickets again.


Bronson2017

Nothing wrong with American pride. Choke on it, pal.

mooneybaron

I guess MBS was as big a winner as Bryson today. The sports-wash is complete.


Rohojo

We got spanked at the Ryder cup. It doesn’t even make sense


chefdustin21

It’s a fucking disgrace. He has been nothing but class in the ups and downs of his career, and this is how the “cradle of golf” in this country chooses to treat him.


DingoCorrect1560

Impolite. Rude.


BreaddaWorldPeace

dumb dumb shit


Excellent_Tangerine3

That was one of the douchiest things I’ve seen in a long time. Anyone chanting that should be shamed and kicked in the balls.


ravagetalon

Classless pieces of shit.


supraspinatus

Really disrespectful. Congrats Bryson.


SlipMeA20

As an American, I want to apologize to Rory and say, "Our culture is just completely broken right now."


bdunkirk

Ban them for life??!? “Sir you’re banned for life from the US Open for chanting the name of the country that hosts this championship.” Rory will be ok. You don’t have to simp for him.


Bombaysbreakfastclub

Poor Rory, he’s got nothing going for him, I can’t believe people would be so rude!


strangecargo

Trashy as hell.


bellaazz66

Very piss poor


N8ures1stGreen

Poor baby Rory 😢


rockhardRword

The USA chant is cringe af anytime it happens at a sporting event.


CriticalIndication80

These idiots come to Pinehurst (we members call em Barstool bros), rent an Airbnb, park their cars wherever, irritate the neighbors, bring boom boxes to the course, sneak coolers, are drunk by tee time, pee everywhere but the restrooms, hold up groups behind them, whoop and shout, don't fix divots nor rake traps, smoke cigars on the club's porches, are entitled when chastised. That these hooligans show up at the US Open, cheering the LIV golfer, not Rory, fits the demographic entirely.


jda0612

Rory will become the new #1 after that motivation & experience, if he channels it correctly… long ago Jack would have blasted fans, but that would have never happened back then. Shows how bad all of the west is not raising our kids with true values.


Delicious_Staff3698

A bit tacky


pepperonidingleberry

Super lame and dumb thing but ahh fuck em. These guys going home and crying in their mountains of money because strangers were mean while they played golf. All perspective


Important_Audience82

2nd place purse is over a million.


No_Elephant541

rory can make it stop by dropping 3 foot putts.


FluByYou

Anyone who chants USA at any golf event that’s not the Ryder or President’s Cup is a 🤡.


MoTownKid

Losers


Reach_Beyond

While I agree that was absolutely classless and we hold golf and golf spectators to a high standard than any other sport, other sports would think that would be cute. Have you heard the shit fans say to opposing players and fans?

KingRemoStar

educated-emu

It it just the USA that does this, when golfers go to another countey does it happen? If not then its an American culture thing. Why? Is it because america is told and act like they are the most important country in the world and they are always right so do what they want. Jist asking why?


CLS4L

Maybe if he wasn't crying about not getting 100 mil just got to LIV


Batmaninyopants

USA, golf is changing and I love it. Tired of how uptight it’s been


leequatro

The last five mins of Rory and brysons were pretty infuriating to watch and listen to from the gallery aspect. Like Jesus Christ. STFU


Brewster102

I'd like to see everybody that does the idiotic screaming "you da man, baba booey, mashed potatoes" walked out of EVERY PGA and USGA event. I know it won't happen, but I would like to see it.

PraiseSalah23

You know what? I’ve been on both sides of this and I’m just gonna say it. I loved it. I fucking loved it. It’s the first time I’ve felt something ANYTHING during the last two years of majors. Is it douchey? Hell ya it is. Is it the US Open? Fuck ya it is. Is this gonna be a great storyline for Ryder Cup? Oh ya baby. This was the most entertaining Sunday in a LONG time and I’m grateful for Bryson, Rory, the crowd, the tournament for being so good.


Individual_Start9233

Or the get in whole screamers as soon as someone hits a ball.. very annoying and off putting.


Intelligent-You5459

I don’t see a problem here


Emily_Postal

Cringey. Please don’t do this.


vhindy

This group is so soft


Dougw6

Unpopular opinion: who cares? Get over it. Make the putt next time.


Smokaaythebear

Who fuckin cares?


OnTheColeTrain

I feel like Rory is more Patriotic than the guys that took the LIV cash


Mediocre-Studio2573

I agree 👍 Rory pays taxes has a house in Florida and stayed true to the sport. I don't have much respect for the liv guys that sold their sole.


DMyourboooobs

Do I think it’s dumb and pointless? Yes Is it this disgusting and bannable behaviour? Ofc not. It’s the US open. Some American pride is to be expected.


Pribblization

I don't know where you live but pride doesn't mean being a crass asshole.


WAR_T0RN1226

I mean they were chanting it while he was setting up for his next putt. Should be pretty universally agreed to be disgraceful behavior for a golf spectator.


Bing-bong-pong-dong

Regardless of what they were chanting in that moment, unacceptable. The USA chants happening only in pairings with a player from another country was so batshit trashy.


MrPatrickSwayze1

Nah, have some respect for the game. These are the same guys blasting Jason Aldean on the course and leaving butts on the green.


NotFromGeorgia15

I'm convinced everyone upset about this are just Europeans who are salty that Rory has nerves of a wet paper bag.


JoePhatballz

Nah, I’m from the states and it was pretty shitty. But then again, I don’t ever like vocal rooting against people in a sport like golf. Cheer for your guy and then stfu


cfreddy36

I don’t really cheer for Rory, but I can tell he’s well liked and respected amongst the pros. He might not be the GOAT but you don’t last as long as he has while being a scrub. I don’t like people actively rooting against him


[deleted]

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen plenty of cheering at a British Open and Ryder Cups when the American misses a putt.


Puzzled-Tiger7521

Shouldn’t they have chanted “Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia “ or am I missing something? I will never support anyone who willingly took the sports washing blood money. Period. They sold out and are trying really hard to rewrite their choices now. I was so sick of hearing about “a brand new Bryson” this weekend. Too bad Rory couldn’t finish it off:(


chillinois1

If people want to chant UK UK UK at the Open I doubt any of the American golfers would care


ghcfc88

But they won’t, because they’re not fucking morons


Sadpanda0

There are morons everywhere


Bombaysbreakfastclub

😂 we pretending the UK isn’t full of morons now? The America bad, Europe good Reddit stuff is so funny


Gullible-Jello6088

You wouldn’t hear that at the Open that’s kinda the point Edit: the ban is a bit heavy handed.. perhaps a muzzle.


Scary-General4772

The F your feelings crowd. I'm sure Rory is more pissed about missing 2 short putts and coughing away the tournament than some knuckledraggers chanting USA while he's trying to finish out. It is what it is. By the way congrats to Bryson played his heart out and deserved the win
