The entities getting angry and displaying is common in every sport. However, unlike the other sports, the golfers have to be more careful with the way they express as many in the golf world tend to not like it. However, Paige Spiranac doesn’t agree with this mentality and wants to know the fans’ perspective on it.
According to the golfer, fans of other sports celebrate watching a player’s rage during a tournament. “We love fighting in hockey, the celebration dances in football,” Spiranac said.“But with golf, it’s a gentlemen’s (in air quotes) game, who want to keep the tradition.”

The English golfer Matthew Fitzpatrick won the 2022 U. S. Open on June 19th. However, it was not the only interesting event that happened on Sunday. “Grayson Murray full-on tomahawked his putter, snapped a club over his leg,” the 29-year-old described.
Although he made the cut, nothing went as planned for the Tour player Grayson Murray. Murray found it hard to get on the fairway on No. 7. The hole ended with him tapping in it for a double bogey, following which the angry golfer threw away his putter.
