CROMWELL – As Scottie Scheffler and Tom Kim prepared to decide the Travelers Championship on the 18th green at TPC River Highlands on Sunday, there was a disruption.
A group of five climate protesters ran down from the hill and through the greenside bunkers with red and white smoke canisters. Chased by police, the first man was taken down outside the bunker while two other canisters were thrown onto the green, leaving red and white residue.
Four of the protesters were wearing shirts that read: “No golf on a dead planet.”
All five were carried away in handcuffs by police while the gallery erupted in a chorus of “USA!” chants.
Scheffler, the No. 1 golfer in the world, missed his birdie putt with the red substance in his line of sight to finish with par. Kim, set up just 10 feet from the hole after a thrilling approach, made birdie to force a playoff.

I bet that green will be hard to read after that.
They blanked out the audio several times, but once I did catch a rousing chorus of “FJB!” from the gallery.
No, they putted for par and Im got a birdie. Sheffler won in sudden death.
So these global warming peoole are against people playing golf? What the heck?
No they’re just your typical self righteous leftist dicks. They think they’re clever because they’ve come up with these lame linkages they’re spouting during their crimes between global warming and the Magna Carta. Stonehenge’s, here, golfing, etc. prosecuting a few to the greatest extent of the law would help tamp this down, but no one outside of Florida seems to want to do that
Cops got a lot of bogeys on the last hole.
Well, when you swing a golf club you exert yourself and will breathe faster. That means you expel more carbon dioxide, which all the experts say is bad and makes climate change even worse. Or something like that, it’s so hard to keep up these days. /s
Uh, isn’t that what 9 irons are for?
How about "No protests from dead protesters"?
How can they absolutely know whoi they represented. Think for a second:
A half dozen people among more than 20,000 are in a confined space with wind, and someone runs out and starts waving containers of different shades of powder so it lands on the green in the middle of them. It could easily be anthrax as they still haven’t said what it was.
No they called in the greens keepers, didn’t move the public, wiped it down with cloth into the green, raked it into the trap, and then tried to blow it around with a leaf blower.
And anthrax is just one. Other poisons that can be inhaled or ingested are Botulinum (ingested), Sarin (inhaled), Ricin (ingested or inhaled), or Tetrodotoxin (ingested).
So they allowed those people to just stand there, especially down wind, and get the stuff on them or the food they were eating. Does anyone have any brains? There are terrorist protests happening all over the world. And something this obvious happens and they did their best to make it worse. Morons!

They gain NOT ONE MORE SUPPORTER with this STUPID CRAP!!!
Swing away, Merrill!
(I know, I know. Wrong sport.)
Golf clap.
Did the announcers do the play by play in a hushed voice?
It might help if the media stopped referring to these creeps as “protesters”
First Amendment abusers would be more accurate.
They should demand full prosecution of these invaders and sue the money people funding them...
this type of insanity only stops when life-threatening drastic measures are implemented and enforced. “polite society is far too polite to those who take advantage of polite society” L.Star
