PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – If the Bear Trap’s growl ever gets worse than its bite, some of the game’s top players may stop showing up to play the Honda Classic.
Billy Horschel offered up that warning to PGA Tour and Honda Classic officials last week with heckling becoming a greater issue there.
Horschel was among pros who complained to PGA Tour chief of operations Andy Pazder last week about the fan behavior at the 17th hole, the last of the three Bear Trap holes.
Horschel doesn’t want to see Honda’s 17th become a cousin to the Phoenix Open’s infamous 16th.
