It might be a different circuit, but some principles of watching professional golf remain the same — like making sure you’ve got an eye on the ball if you’re sitting halfway down the fairway.
Case in point: the gentleman who had his back turned during the third and final round at Centurion Club for the LIV Golf Series opener just outside of London. The Saudi-backed, Greg Norman-led league will crown its first winner Saturday.
And while this new league has created a thorn in the side of PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan, it hurt even more for this patron who wasn’t watching as Peter Uihlein pulled a drive to the left.
