If you’re unaware of what happened on Friday at the Memorial Tournament, you missed out on some major action. Amid the ongoing war of words between Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka, a group of fans taunted DeChambeau by calling him “Brooksie” from the sidelines at the Memorial Tournament.
DeChambeau felt that the fans were crossing boundaries with their chants. He swiftly alerted the tournament security after which the fans were escorted out of the venue as a result of their actions.

Patrick Cantlay rendered his opinion on the Bryson DeChambeau issue
Bryson DeChambeau consciously knew those fans were targeting him at the Memorial Tournament. With everything that transpired last week, it was completely evident. The fans created a lot of noise and Patrick Cantlay was asked to give his opinion on the matter.
“I think it’s pretty normal. I mean, we play out here in front of fans all the time. Last year’s been abnormal with no fans, but you just, it just becomes normalized and I think if you ask any of those guys they feel the same,” Cantlay said.

But does this mean that Cantlay justifies what the fans did to Bryson DeChambeau?
“I don’t pay too much attention to it, so you would probably be better suited asking him,” he replied.

The most important part of playing golf is that you shouldn’t lose focus. Patrick Cantlay did not let the fans get into his mind, but that wasn’t the case with Bryson DeChambeau. It directly affected him, but he did the right thing of letting the security know about their behavior.
Do you think the fans should’ve been allowed to stay back for the remainder of the day?
