Golf Channel analyst calls Long Island fans 'a stain on the game' after US Open incidents

Dan Dakich asks if Angel Reese would be able to handle the criticism other athletes in non-team sports receive.

One analyst has a bone to pick with a specific region of golf fans following the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills this past week.

Golf Channel’s Eamon Lynch believes a golf major shouldn’t ever come across Long Island, New York again after seeing what unfolded at one of the country’s storied courses in Shinnecock Hills during the U.S. Open.

"Long Island golf fans re a stain on the game of golf," Lynch said during a segment on Monday following Wyndham Clark’s second U.S. Open victory for his career.

Lynch continued to unload on Long Islanders who attended the event, saying they "do not deserve" to see another major at any of its storied courses, including Bethpage Black, which hosted this past year’s Ryder Cup.

Clark was at the center of Lynch’s argument, as authorities had to kick patrons at Shinnecock Hills on Sunday out after heckling the U.S. Open’s leader. Fans were heard screaming, "Don’t choke Wyndham," as well as, "Get in the bunker" during his final round.

"This isn’t a New York problem," Lynch added. "It doesn’t happen at Winged Foot, doesn’t happen at Baltusrol on the other side of the Hudson River. It happens on Long Island every single time."
