Australian golfer’s wife chastises fans behavior at Presidents Cup
The gallery at the Presidents Cup was a little too rowdy, at least according to the wife of one of the participants.
Audrey Leishman, an American who is married to Australian golfer Marc Leishman, was upset by the behavior by fans at New Jersey’s Liberty National Golf Club. She wrote a lengthy reprimand, which included charges of heckling one of the golfer’s spouses because of her looks, on her blog, #PSdontusetampons entitled “This is not the Tour I know.”
“Golf is truly a gentleman’s sport. But last week was not the golf I know,” she wrote.
Beyond the beauty-based shaming of one of the players’ wives, Leishman detailed some of the other uncouth behavior she witnessed.
* Someone yelled “speak English” about a song during the opening ceremony when the singers were, in fact, speaking English.
* Someone yelled “bloomin’ onion” at her Australian husband.
* People booing good shots for the International team and cheering flubbed ones.
Leishman had a life-threatening experience just before the Masters in 2015, and it is the inspiration for the title of her blog.
