U.S. Open Kicking Fans Out Of Tournament For 'Inappropriate' Chants

The final round of the 2026 U.S. Open is wrapping up on Sunday.

Wyndham Clark, who entered the day at -7, is hoping to hold on to the lead and the victory. However, it's shaping up to be a close finish. Clark has already given multiple shots back on Sunday.

Meanwhile, as Clark is struggling, some fans are being kicked out of the tournament. They've been chanting some "inappropriate" things while on the golf course grounds.

"Cops are booting people for shouting 'Don't choke Wyndham!' as he sets up to his shot. This young man got bounced for saying it before Clark's tee shot at No. 4," Kevin Van Valkenburg tweeted.

Golf fans are debating this tactic.

"No cheers for his save at 4.. he is in for a world of hurt the rest of the way," one fan wrote.

"Good. More of this at tournaments. These NPC losers need to shut up," one fan added.

"That's a legit badge and not just a general admission ticket - someone's gonna be in trouble," another fan added.

"Whoever you cheer for there should be no place for this in golf. All majors and the PGA Tour really need to crack down on heckling. These players have practiced all their lives to be able to play in these tournaments, all for some idiot to shout in his backswing," one fan added.
