LIV Golf star involved in furious exchange with fans after foul-mouthed rant
LIV Golf star Dean Burmester was embroiled in a heated exchange with a member of the Adelaide crowd on Sunday during the first ever team playoff to take place in the breakaway league.
Burmester, alongside his Stinger captain Louis Oosthuizen played against home favourites Ripper GC in a nail-biting playoff to determine the team champion after Sunday’s final round. Both teams finished 54-holes tied at an impressive 53-under-par for the week.
The playoff saw two players from each side return to the course to settle the event, with Burmester and Oosthuizen representing Stinger and the Australian pair Cam Smith and Marc Leishman fighting it out for Ripper.
As expected, the Australian crowd threw their support behind their fellow countrymen Smith and Leishman, leading to a boisterous atmosphere around the 18th hole. Despite this, it seemed as though the South Africans would emerge victorious after both hit their approaches close into the first playoff hole, providing two putts at birdie to win.
However, both Burmester and Oosthuizen narrowly missed their putts, forcing the fourball to return to the tee. As the tension mounted, Burmester sent his tee shot slightly down the right-hand side but still managed to leave himself a clear approach into the green.
