Max Homa experienced the potential for disruption with betting at PGA Tour events when he said a fan yelled in the middle of his five-foot birdie putt Saturday in the BMW Championship.
Homa already was struggling with short putts on a windy day at Olympia Fields, having missed a two-foot putt on the seventh hole and a five-footer at No. 12.What bothered him was what he described as a "drunk fan" on the 17th hole, right after Chris Kirk had left his 18-foot birdie putt about one foot short. Homa holed his five-footer, then shouted and pointed at the man as he walked off the green.
"I love that people can gamble on golf, but that is the one thing I'm worried about," Homa said. "I don't know what he had to lose. He got kicked out probably, and we were the last group." "It's just always something that's on your mind," Homa said of fans shouting. "It's on us to stay focused or whatever, but it's just annoying when it happens. Fans are so great about being quiet when we play. I think they are awesome. When anybody ever talks, it's so unintentional.
