Isn’t there some security at such events? I’m amazed that this was allowed to continue. To start, much less to continue.

Golf fans have changed as have tennis fans. Everyone of em think they are at a ballgame where it’s been part of the game to heckle the batter or pitcher for the entire game.Remember when they threw batteries at the outfielder.
Nothing is the off limits anymore. Maybe just maybe beer sales should be banned and bringing in backpacks not allowed as well. Come drunk or stoned and the heat will put you down before the third hole.

Most of the ‘security’ at the major events consists of the older members of the club. They are there to keep the crowd from interfering with play. Unfortunately, there are a lot of classless spectators.

This seems really odd, I’ve been to the Open and they expect decent behavior from the gallery. Of course, it wasn’t in New York, famous for boorish fans.
