Bubba Watson lashed out at a fan during LIV Golf’s occasion in Indianapolis on Friday after the spectator screamed out during Lee Westwood’s pre-shot routine.
Watson was enjoying his spherical alongside Westwood and Bryson DeChambeau when the interplay with the fan occurred during the occasion at The Club at Chatham Hills.
The fan shouted as Westwood went through his routine and compelled him to step off the ball and look toward the spectator.
