The hecklers have moved on to golf from basketball, it seems.
This time it was Brooks Koepka getting into it with a “fan” after last Saturday’s action of the World Golf Championships (WGC)-Dell Technologies Match Play tournament in Austin, Texas.
Video shows the golfer grabbing a man’s phone after he beat world number one, Jon Rahm. The fan is filming incredibly close to the 28-year-old golfer’s face and tries to chat him up. Koepka then rips the phone away and says, “Get it out of my face, man! Get it out of my face!”
The phone was immediately returned, but Koepka went on to lose in the quarterfinals to Dustin Johnson on Sunday.
