Scottie Scheffler was heckled by a fan at the Presidents Cup in Canada on Saturday, with his caddie Ted Scott left fuming by the incident. And the fan was eventually kicked out for their behaviour as they were made to leave the Royal Montreal golf course.
USA star Scheffler bagged his first-ever foursomes victory in the Presidents Cup as he teamed up with Russell Henley.
The duo defeated International pairing Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im as USA ended the day with an 11-7 lead ahead of the final day of action.

According to , a fan yelled a derogatory comment at Scheffler about his wife Meredith. And Scott, who worked as a caddie for legendary golfer Bubba Watson for 15 years, stormed outside the ropes to scream at the fan.
The player’s father later confirmed to the outlet that the person in question had been removed by security.
Scheffler struggled with the putter in the early stages of the afternoon as he missed three makeable putts. But the two-time Masters champion did eventually find his form.

And after the contest he heaped praise on his team-mate as he explained: “I’ve got to give a ton of credit to Russ. I felt like I messed up the beginning of the match.
“I felt like I was on a different planet for the first six holes, really the first five holes. Starting on No. 6 I hit a good shot in there, and I don’t think Russ missed a shot today. I can’t think of one shot I thought he could have hit better.”
Scheffler has already had interactions with fans at the Royal Montreal course and previously chatted to a group of spectators on the driving range about the brief time he spent in prison earlier this year.
Scheffler was arrested in May ahead of his second round at the US PGA Championship after attempting to enter Valhalla Golf Club in heavy traffic.

At the time, he was placed in handcuffs, taken into custody and put in a prison cell, before charges of assaulting a police officer, criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding traffic signals from an officer were subsequently dropped.
And with some President Cup fans eager to find out the details of his ordeal on Friday, : “Jail is kind of boring, to be honest with you. I needed something to do.
“I was alone in the jail cell. One of the guys in the jail – the first guy – a police officer who knew who I was, literally walked up in disbelief going, ‘What the heck did you do?’ I was like, ‘I dunno.’”
