Lately when I get up on the weekends I'll turn on the European Tour. It's amazing the difference in the gallery between how they act and how the fans at PGA Tour events act. It's a refreshing change from the drunken idiots; they still act with class and respect.

Id agree that it doesnt mean anything, its just some idiot who thinks he is funny. I mean, at the U.S. Open there was someone who kept making the Chewbacca noise. Its like, seriously? Grow up. Honestly, if I were at a tournament and someone in front of me kept doing things like that, Id smack them upside the head and say, "grow up".
