did anyone notice how some douchebag was yelling “you’re a freak” after tiger hit? CBS, from then on turned down the volume on the crowd noise and Ferity actually commented that “my the crowd is really quite” when actually they had muted the sound.
Yeah. I noticed it on a putt, I believe. I think I may have heard it – or something like it – a few other times.
