Following his exit from the event, the 48-year-old went on to make a bizarre comment. The American international boldly explained to GOLF.com that his poor performance was due to a smaller crowd size at the Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina.

I love crowds. That’s kind of the funny part is I wish there was a huge crowd on every hole because that’s when I hit my shots. I really do. I always do. It’s the weirdest thing. When there’s no one around is when I hit my worst shots.
