Sergio has always been anything but boring, which I suppose is why I root for him. But I'm pretty sure it's genuine, primarily because his actions are often embarrassing and / or lack self-awareness.

Not sure what he's done since last year's Players to suggest a false persona. If you're suggesting he's acting mature to help his image, maybe he just matured. Or maybe he just hasn't had many chances to go Full Sergio. Didn't he say something controversial on the Euro tour earlier this year?

One thing I know for sure is I'd ****ing love to have him on my Ryder Cup team. Guys like him are why I can't really root against the Euros. PASSION.

I thought Sergio was always well liked outside of the holier than thou crowd or the people who just won't root for any euro. I've always liked Sergio and he seems to have a good reputation among his peers.

Yes his comments were stupid and he apologized for it tough to lose the label though.

Why is Bubba not deemed a racist driving the General Lee with a flag on it that also ........

The only thing Sergio has done that has bothered me was the time he spit into the cup after taking his ball out, I'd like to know wtf he's thinking there.

Same thing he was thinking when he threw his shoe into the crowd during a match, or when he smashed a microphone on a tee box, or when he took three full tomahawk swings into the face of a bunker, or when he gave the middle finger to the fans at the US Open?

To be fair, hecklers should be removed from the premise, and that includes the guys yelling BABA-BOOEY

I don't hate him or anything. Just pointing out that outbursts from him on the course are fairly common.

My suggestion is simply that someone can yell those things but if they do they are eligible to get punched in the face by anyone else. Just put it in the fine print of the ticket. A few punches to the face and word will get around.

I have to say, I was on the Sergio train during the final round. He was clearly giving it every ounce of talent he had to try and catch Rory. The PASSION was exemplified when he yelled PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEE after one of his approaches.

Those things all release frustration, I don't see how spitting into a cup is the same as tomahawking a bunker.

PASSION

I prefer snipers in the towers and focused on the tee boxes. Head shots if you yell.

Lol are there videos of any/all of these? Hilarious.

Btw, more than once Tiger has almost done the same thing, but stopped short. After hitting an errant shot he picked up the club and made a half swing as if he was about to slam it into the ground.

Also, I don't think it's a bad thing for players to vent on the course, as long as they don't cause damage or harm to the surrounding environment or to other players. Remember Marat Safin? How many rackets did he break in anger?
