Well, for golf purists, this tournament has become an abomination...

There's probably 15 people in Lafayette who think that having a crowd like that at Cajun Field would be a bad thing

Correct. I've been waiting for a few years now for something to boil over here and it finally did. Players were yelling at fans, fans were fighting fans and its just been built up into some crazy frat party deal. They will have a lot of work on their hands to change it up without losing your entire tournament because its been come to know as the one week a season where the players really enjoy the fan interaction like that but now they'll have to make some big changes, particularly on the 16th green
