It was probably the worst big-time golf event behavior in recent memory.

It was rude, crude and simply something that shouldn't happen at an event like the Players Championship.

The PGA Tour has long pushed its own little mini-major as the "fifth" major, but it simply is not that. All it had on Sunday was major bad behavior from the galleries that targeted Kevin Na.

Yeah, Kevin Na's got a problem, and he admits it. He knows, he's aware, he desperately wants to get rid of it but for now, he's seemingly stuck with it. "It" being the fact that he's having trouble pulling the trigger on his golf swing.

That, ladies and gentleman, is as bad as it gets.

The sad thing with all of this is that if you ask around, you'll hear that Kevin Na is a nice guy. He didn't always have this trouble; it's seemingly developed this season. Two years ago at the Transitions, we watched him and he was fine.
