Rory McIlroy, a six-time major champion, was heckled by a fan at the US Open at Shinnecock Hills in New York. The fan shouted, ‘Bunker, get in the bunker!’ after McIlroy hit a tee shot during the third round on Saturday.
McIlroy responded to the fan with a hand motion, indicating the fan had a large stomach. This exchange was caught on video and has been widely shared on social media.
The US Open has seen its share of hostile fan behavior, particularly towards American golfer Wyndham Clark during his final round on Sunday. Clark was subjected to verbal abuse from the crowd, with fans cheering when his approach shots rolled off the putting surface and shouting for his ball to find a bunker.
Despite the challenging conditions, Clark persevered and ultimately emerged victorious. McIlroy’s response to the heckler has been seen as a lighthearted moment in an otherwise intense tournament.
