Here’s what some of them had to say:
The tweet asked fans to vote if what the player did during Tejedo’s shot deserved a lifetime ban or ignored. But fans are well aware of what’s right and what’s not. Understandably, most fans stood against the player’s disrespectful actions and said it was a loss of good etiquette.
That’s Carla Tejedo from #LSU. I would not cross her too many times. Very tough competitor. And yes, that was bad etiquette.

I absolutely hate that and would never do that to anyone, ever.

On the other hand, there were others who said that it was wrong on the player’s part. But not wrong enough for her to deserve a lifetime ban at all.
Always walk behind no matter what. But lifetime ban? Sawft. Play on and smoke em

I wouldn't do it, but if it keeps up place of play let's give this player a pass

But surprisingly, some thought there was nothing wrong with what she did and said the game must go on.
It’s a game. Relax.

Unless you think the putters stare will effect the ball, play on and keep it moving.

Play on. It’s not like it was a 10 ft putt.

Well, most fans agreed to the fact that it wasn’t a cool thing to do. And despite no action being taken about the incident, the fans are capable of deciding between good and bad golf etiquette. What are your views about this? Let us know in the comments section!
