Pro golfer Jon Rahm—a two-time major champ—lost his cool at The Open Championship after accusing a fan of whistling during his backswing, throwing off his shot. The incident happened at Royal Portrush, where Rahm, known for his fiery demeanor, called out the distraction mid-round.

Editor’s Note: Golf is a game of precision and mental focus, so even small disruptions can rattle players—especially in high-stakes tournaments. Rahm’s outburst highlights the tension between athletes and spectators in a sport where silence is golden. It also sparks debate: where’s the line between fan enthusiasm and unfair interference? For casual viewers, it’s a reminder of how much pressure these pros are under.
