Spanish golf sensation Jon Rahm was caught in a fiery exchange with a spectator during The Open Championship, after an apparent disruption during his round.
The two-time major winner was visibly frustrated, stopping mid-swing to confront the fan, shouting: 'Have some respect!' The incident occurred as Rahm battled challenging conditions on the course.
Tension on the Greens
Eyewitnesses reported that Rahm, known for his competitive intensity, had been dealing with multiple distractions from the crowd throughout the day. The final straw came when a loud noise erupted just as he prepared to take a crucial shot.
'You don’t do that in a golf tournament,' Rahm was heard saying, his frustration boiling over. Officials quickly stepped in to defuse the situation, but the moment has since gone viral.
Fan Reactions Divided
While some spectators defended Rahm’s outburst, calling for better crowd etiquette, others felt the Spaniard overreacted. 'It’s part of the game—players need to stay composed,' argued one attendee.
Rahm, currently one of the sport’s biggest stars, has yet to comment further on the incident. However, his fiery passion has reignited debates about fan behaviour in professional golf.
