Share the publication “Jordan Spieth accused of not having shouted” Fore “enough to protect spectators from a lost drive”
Even if he is very much loved by the American public, Jordan Spieth sparked the anger of a few golf fans who could see a video on social networks where the Texan very slowly prevents the public from protecting himself from a lost drive.
« Fore ! This is the expression used by many players and caddies on the PGA Tour to prevent the public with a wandering ball. “” Fore ! “That we could translate by” Gare ! »Or « Attention ! ».
In the past, some players have been accused of not pronouncing the appropriate formula when they let go of their drive away from the fairway and therefore the ball takes the direction of the spectators. Bryson DeChambeau In particular had been at the center of controversies for its repeated oversights.
This time, it was a player, however much appreciated across the Atlantic who missed his prevention duties.
Certainly, Jordan Spieth well pronounced the famous “Fore” during the last round of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. But when reading this video (the sound is necessary), he did not pronounce it strong enough (without bad words) to be audible by those placed a few 220 meters further. The disappointment of this failed blow may explain this.
Apathetic, criminal
Golf.com journalist Sean Zak described Jordan Spieth’s alert cry as “apathetic”. Some fans on social networks went so far as to judge the attitude of the player as “criminal”.
It is surely excessive, even if accidents in this kind of situation have already occurred. However, it is hoped that the Texan triple winner of Major will be more obliging with the spectators the next time.
