Shane Lowry couldn't take the comment from the gallery after falling behind Taylor Montgomery by two strokes on the 17th hole of the WGC Dell Technologies Match Play on Wednesday, March 22.
The Irishman shuts the heckler in the retort:
"You're f***king hilarious, aren't ya?"
The Sky Sports announcer immediately pointed out the bad language and said:
"Watch out your language."
Golf Magic editor Andy Roberts shared a post of the video on the Twitter account with a caption saying:
"Shane Lowry not a happy bun."
Fans jumped into the comment section to ask:
"What did the guy say to him (Shane Lowry)?"
In response, another fan jotted:
"The fan was being an obnoxious jerk. He was blabbering on and on with a ridiculously fake ‘Irish’ accent. It was terrible. Mr. Lowry handled it better than most people would! I’m the guy in the black shirt to his right.
While others wrote:
"Who cares I don’t even like Shane Lowry, but if somebody says something disrespectful Shane can say whatever he wants."
"JT would've gotten that fan an escort!"
Match Play is scheduled to wrap up with the finale on Sunday, March 26 and after the third round. Shane Lowry struggled to play in the last round.
