Pat Perez isn’t exactly known as a calm and stoic individual on the golf course. Sometimes he just lets his emotions get the better of him. That’s exactly what happened on Sunday at the Reno-Tahoe Open where he blew his shot at winning and stormed off the course. He stormed right by a young fan without a second glance. I’d post a link to the video but the powers that be at the PGA Tour didn’t like it circulating online and yanked it from youtube. Edit – You can .
Afterwards, he realized that this wasn’t acceptable behavior for a professional golfer and , calling it a “dick move”. He then asked fans to so he could make up for his behavior. Hopefully somebody out there knows who this kid is and Perez will get a chance to make things right.
Everybody makes mistakes, but owning up to them and trying to fix things says a lot about a person’s character.
