But you see, Matt, guy who played in and won the tournament in that environment, golf writers and the rest of the terminally online didn't like it, therefore it is bad. Is anyone else really, really tired of this conversation? Fitzpatrick dealt with the exact same fan behavior at the Players Championship—Americans pulling for an American, in this case Cameron Young—and naturally handled it with class. This time, folks were firmly in Scheffler's corner, understandable given he's from the U.S., the World No. 1 and a four-time major champ, and Fitzpatrick relished it. It fueled him to a win. And he got to talk a little smack afterward because of it, in addition to making the "I can't hear you" gesture to the crowd when the final putt dropped. That is what sports is all about. That's what competition is all about, as Fitzy explained in his post-victory presser:

Beautifully handled. Now everyone will move on with their lives. When the guy who had to actually deal with it completely brushes it off, and even embraced it, that should tell you that your precious feelings on the matter are completely irrlevant.
