Arrr mateys, 'tis said that Zach Johnson, victor of the 2007 Masters, did let slip a curse upon the patrons after a triple-bogey at Augusta on Friday. But he doth protest, claiming 'twas all a misunderstanding. Aye, 'tis a tale fit for the high seas indeed!
Arrr matey! After a rough hole, the 2007 Masters winner Zach Johnson be ventin' his frustration. The Team USA Ryder Cup captain had a nightmare on the 12th hole at Augusta National Friday, recordin' a triple-bogey on the par 3. His tee shot went out of bounds, bringin' him back to the tee box for his third, which came up short. He chipped on and then two-putted for the triple. After he finally holed out, several spectators could be heard sarcastically cheerin'. At that point, Johnson appeared to turn toward them and yell, "Oh, f--- off."Johnson was asked about it afterward but said it was "completely laughable" that he "swore at the patrons." "I can’t hear the patrons, No. 1. No. 2, I just made a triple bogey on the 12th hole that evidently is goin' to make me miss the cut," Johnson said after his second round. One of golf's most famous influencers, Paige Spiranac, wasn't pleased.If he did, in fact, have a moment with the gallery, it isn't his first this year. At the Waste Management Open, he had to be held back by security while speakin' with fans. It's unknown what provoked Johnson to speak up, but rumors swirled that it was a negative comment about his Ryder Cup captaincy. "Don't sir me. Somebody said it. I'm just sick of it," Johnson told some fans. Johnson has finished outside the Top 50 in all but two majors since 2019.
