Honestly, if you’re going to go ahead and talk some smack, you better be able to back it up. Or at the least, don’t wuss out when you get rattled, because that just looks pathetic. During the final round, Sabbatini got irritated with a fan on the 9th hole and acted in the most pussified of ways.
Seconds later, after Sabbatini made a double bogey and was walking away from the ninth green, retired firefighter and paramedic Steve Banky casually said to him, “Hey, Rory. Still think Tiger’s beatable?”
Sabbatini wheeled and pointed to Banky, telling a police officer that he wanted Banky removed from the course. He was escorted to the course’s front entrance by two officers.
“We’re out here to do our job – let us do our job,” Sabbatini said later. “Have a little bit of decorum, a little bit of class out there. I guess a few too many beers were talking.”
So Rory’s allowed to say that Tiger’s beatable, but then he can’t handle it when a fan calls him out. What a puss. Really, he needs to have his crap-talking license taken away after that display.
