Harambe isn’t at the PGA Championship, because he’s dead. But that’s not stopping fans at the PGA Championship from keeping the Beautiful Ape’s memory alive through the first three rounds of the season’s final major championship.
Fans at the PGA Championship can’t stop yelling about Harambe

Okay, sure, yelling something shortly after a professional golfer makes impact with the ball isn’t particularly cool, funny or amusing. GET IN THE HOLE was probably the original and was never notable in any way, we hit the saturation point with MASHED POTATOES sometime around 2002, and BABA BOOEY is the most recent favorite mating call of a boozed-up golf fan. These are dumb, and they piss off players that are normally pretty good sports with fans like Graeme McDowell.
But sometimes, these shouts are good. Extremely good.
Jason Day and other PGA Championship leaders tee off at around 3pm for today’s third round at Baltusrol. Harambe won’t tee off at all today, because he’s gone.
