During the British Open on July 17, a fan went viral after releasing a loud fart that was captured by the event’s broadcast during a perfect shot by Scottie Scheffler.
Commentator Andrew Cotter was shocked by the noise, which synchronized with the moment the ball was heading toward hole 17.
“Oh,” he exclaimed as he burst out laughing. “What made you laugh, Andrew?” asked the co-commentator, also laughing. “There’s so much to say about that shot…” Cotter replied, still laughing.
“Just a little wind from behind,” his partner added.
The mysterious fan sparked a series of funny comments. “Was that the prevailing wind?” joked one user on X, formerly Twitter.
