During the Masters Tournament, professional golfer Zach Johnson was caught on microphone expressing frustration towards the gallery after a disappointing performance on the 12th hole, where he scored a triple bogey after missing his putt. Johnson's outburst included telling the patrons to 'F— off' in response to their reaction, which included cheers and clapping. This incident has sparked discussions across various platforms, with some defending Johnson's emotional response to a challenging moment in the tournament. Johnson, also known as Karen Johnson and an ex-Ryder Cup captain, later addressed the incident, suggesting the idea that he swore at patrons was 'laughable' and emphasizing his inability to hear the gallery due to his focus on the game.
