Rickie Fowler pointed and shouted angrily at a golf fan on Saturday after they disturbed him as he teed off at the Players Championship.
Fowler, a PGA Tour veteran, teed off on the 16th hole at TPC Sawgrass during his penultimate round of the tournament.
There was a disturbance on the tee box before Fowler had even put his ball down.
Fowler’s caddy, Ricky Romano, can be heard telling a fan to ‘keep the camera quiet and keep the phones quiet’.
But when Fowler hit his tee shot, something was clearly bothering him as he took one hand off the club after hitting the ball and didn’t complete his follow through.

Fowler then pointed directly at the fan and shouted: ‘YOU! What are you doing?’
He later told DailyMail.com that it was the noise of the fan’s camera shutter clicking that disrupted his swing.
The tense moment capped a disastrous day for Fowler, who finished four over par for the round.
Despite being put out during his tee shot, Fowler still managed to carry his drive 285 yards down the middle of the fairway.
However, his second shot found the water and he therefore had to settle for a double bogey as he finished with a 76 on Saturday.
That leaves him three-over for the tournament going into Sunday’s final round and a whopping 18 shots behind current leader Wyndham Clark
