Jon Rahm’s caddie, Adam Hayes, has defended his player’s actions during a tense staredown with rowdy fans at the LIV Golf UK 2024 event.
The incident occurred on Saturday, during the third round of the tournament. Rahm was engaged in a tense staredown with a group of fans who were heckling him and his caddie. The stare down lasted for several minutes before Rahm eventually resumed play.
Speaking to reporters after the round, Hayes said that the fans’ behavior was “uncalled for” and that Rahm had been “completely justified” in his reaction.
“It’s tough to stay focused when people are trying to get in your head,” Hayes said. “I’m proud of Jon for standing up for himself and his team.”
Rahm has not yet commented on the incident, however, is expected to speak to the media later today.
