Spectator Farting Noise Prank Caused Collin Morikawa to Back off Tee Shot on 18

Coming down the home stretch, Collin Morikawa was rudely interrupted by what the NBC broadcast crew thought was a whoopie cushion. The laughing Morikawa calmly backed off his tee-shot, until he could compose himself, before hitting one of the most important shots of his life.

It’s now been confirmed that the broadcast crew’s suspicion of a whoopie cushion being used to distract Morikawa wasn’t all that far off from what actually happened.

“Some spectator, at some point in the day, snuck a little old school microphone, like a recording. Threw it underneath one of the marshals around there and started playing these farting noises right as I was about to swing,” Morikawa said on Barstool’s Pardon My Take podcast.
