LIV Golf set an attendance record during last week’s tournament in Australia – but two flashpoints involving fans were cause for unease amongst officials. 

More than 94,000 visited the Grange Golf Club in Adelaide, with many packed into the party-style par-3 12th which is dubbed the ‘Watering Hole.’

During the second round, home favourite Lucas Herbert made a birdie on the 12th, but his caddie was left hurt after being struck on the head with a water bottle. The behaviour was widely ridiculed on social media.

Then, in the breakaway league’s first ever team playoff on Sunday, Dean Burmester was heard hitting back at a spectator whilst competing for the all-South African Stinger team.
