Zach Johnson's caddie got into an argument with a fan at the 2025 Farmers Insurance Open. The American golfer played at the recently concluded PGA Tour event, where a fan called out his caddie for the Ryder Cup loss.

Johnson was the USA team's Ryder Cup captain in 2023, but the team struggled with their game and lost the tournament against the European Team. The fan at the tournament called out Johnson's caddie for picking Justin Thomas and Sam Burns in the team back in 2023.

While the caddie was walking on the greens, a fan in the gallery shouted:

"We lost the Ryder Cup because of you."

Listening to the fan, Johnson's caddie reached out to him and said:

"Just shut up, don't be a d**k."

Notably, the Ryder Cup has 12 players with six automatic qualifiers and the remaining six are captain's picks. Johnson picked Sam Burns, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Rickie Fowler, Brooks Koepka, and Jordan Spieth as the captain's picks for the biennial event in 2023.

They joined the automatic qualifiers Brian Harman, Wyndham Clark, Scottie Scheffler, Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele, and Max Homa. However, the team struggled playing on foreign soil and lost the event by 16 1/2 - 11 1/2.

The Ryder Cup will have its next edition in 2025, and this year, Keegan Bradley is leading the US team at the biennial event.
