Round Two of the Masters on Friday featured some great play from some and even more bad play from others, with windy conditions making the course play extremely difficult. And for one golfer, his struggles got the best of him, which led to him getting into a heated interaction with the patrons in attendance watching him play.
Zach Johnson had a rough hole when it came to the Par 3 12th hole, making a triple bogey on the hole. As he finally made the putt to convert on the triple bogey, he began to get cheered by the patrons in attendance.
Unfortunately, Johnson was in no mood to be cheered, lashing out and yelling some obscene words at those in attendance.

It seems to be quite clear that Johnson told the patrons to “f*** off”, which seems completely unnecessary considering the patrons were just trying to offer their support by cheering him, regardless of the number that he made on the hole.
This triple bogey from Johnson put him to +7 for the tournament, which is where his round quickly began to unravel entirely. He would fail to gain any strokes for the rest of his round, finishing at +7, which is outside of the projected cutline.
At least Johnson won’t have to deal with any patrons for much longer, as he will be missing out on playing the weekend.
