ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – When Talor Gooch was interviewed after being a member of the Four Aces team in the LIV Golf Invitational Series at Pumpkin Ridge in Oregon, he said one of the most moronic things ever uttered at a professional golf tournament.
He compared the vibe at the LIV event to a Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup, biennial competitions that, well, his countryman have wept like babies in defeat despite there being no purse on the line.
Social media quickly dubbed Gooch “the stupidest man in golf” and he conceded on Friday, after shooting 3-under 69 and improving to 7-under 137 at the midway point of the 150th Open, that he’s received some good-natured ribbing from his fellow pros.
