The video starts with Casey getting ready for a shot, only to be disturbed by a fan smoking a little too loudly. A visibly irritated Casey turns to look at the fan, saying, “Oye mate, shut it pal. He asked you nicely a minute ago and now I’m asking you. Shut it”.
Another person on the field repeats what Casey had to say, once again asking the fan to stop smoking. This also seemed to be the last warning for the spectator, who would otherwise have been sent out. Towards the end, the smoking sound is not heard again, and Casey finally makes his shot as others clap.

This time, Casey also qualified automatically for the Ryder Cup. While he did struggle a bit at the Northern Trust and the BMW Championship, he had a good year – which includes his Omega Dubai Desert Classic win. He finished T-4 at the PGA Championship, T-7 at the US Open, and T-4 again at the Tokyo Olympics.
