Does this spur the PGA Tour to look how status and exemptions are handled?#GolfChat

Q4: DeChambeau asked Patrick Cantlay to stop walking because he could see or sense him. If you playing partner is doing something to bother you how do you handle it? This involves throwing clubs, complaining or things like standing behind the hole #GolfChat

What’s your level of interest in this type of golf activity?
