Jon Rahm had quite the Friday, shooting an opening-round 8-under 63 at LIV Golf UK at the JCB Golf and Country Club in Rocester, England. Despite his impressive results on the Saudi Arabia-backed circuit, the Spaniard has yet to break through for his first LIV win.
On Saturday, however, the vibes weren’t as good for the two-time major champion.
On the 16th hole, Rahm was agitated several times due to a rowdy crowd in the grandstands and had to back away from his golf ball on multiple occasions.
After his pitch shot came up short of the flag, Rahm went on to make a bogey.
Here’s a clip of the fan interaction.

Previously, Rahm was agitated at an event in Nashville when drones flew overhead while he was teeing off. Rahm's tee shot sailed right into the water hazard, and before his ball reached his apex, he turned around and looked into the sky in disgust.
"Every tournament. It's f—–g incredible. Right on my backswing. These f—–g drones every time," the microphones caught the two-time major champion saying.
