Happy ending for the streaker at the WM Phoenix Open?

In 2018, when another streaker barged into the People’s Open, he didn’t have a good time afterwards. From spending five days in prison to losing his job, he had to face the worse for his antics. However, according to the video posted on Full Send Golf’s Instagram, the streaker didn’t seem to have any issues with the officials.

“Don’t worry, guys. I made it out of jail,” the streaker, who has a profile name of ‘mac.savage69’ on social media, exclaimed in the video. Furthermore, he said, “your boy is a free man!”

The actions of the streaker were not legal. What he did caused trouble at a public event. While some found it funny, most of the golf world didn’t, and they showed it through their comments: 

“Not a fan.” 

“Clown.” 

“The definition of doing to much…”

“Not all heroes wear capes, although don’t go on the green next time 😂😂

“he’ll have his own late night talk show”

“Legend.”

“Iconic mugshot 😂” 

Although the streaker stated he was out of jail, he didn’t reveal whether the cops charged him with any penalty. However, compared to the 2018 streaker, the 2023 guy had a happy ending.
