Professional golf heckler David Johnson was barking at Team Europe during a practice round as they lined up for a putt.

Johnson yelled “Silver medal is what we call first loser” at Henrik Stenson, who won the silver medal at the Olympics, according to Twin Cities Pioneer Press. He also yelled, “You can’t make this putt,” as Justin Rose lined up for an attempt.

That’s when things got interesting. Stenson pointed out Johnson and told him to come on the green. Johnson, decked out in jeans and a Minnesota Twins baseball hat, strolled up to the putting green. Stenson then challenged Johnson to make a putt.

As Johnson lined up for the putt, Rose placed a $100 bill right next to the ball.

Using Andy Sullivan’s putter, which Johnson loudly complained was too small, Johnson lined up and drained the putt, making all hecklers worldwide proud.
