Bubba Watson’s caddie tells heckler to go home and tweet from ‘grandma’s basement’

Bubba and his looper confront a heckler.

The rains at Baltusrol chased away what had been an entertaining and rowdy New Jersey crowd. But one fan early in the day went a little too far with Bubba Watson, saying something in his backswing that fired up the two-time Masters winner and his caddie, Ted Scott.

Bubba stared the individual(s) in question down and challenged them to say something again, while Scott delivered the sickest of burns, imploring the clowns to go home to grandma’s basement and tweet about it. Fortunately for us, the PGA.com marquee group stream picked up the entire tense exchange.

Bubba gets a lot of crap for getting testy with the crowds, but if people are saying stuff in his backswing and heckling him, they need to get tossed.
