Why did he spit? Any context here?
Overall he seems like a good laugh in the few videos of him I've seen so fair play to him.

It’s links golf - you can putt from off the greenIs that not his putter ?

He was about 30 cm off the 16th green.

Found it disgusting when Tiger kept doing it. Just a disgusting habit in my opinion as a non spitter.

Think we can agree it’s not particularly nice but seems like the OP may already have an formed opinion on the player Shame as it was a great win with some solid golf coming down the stretch

You are playing at your home course. Something flies into your mouth. What do you do?

You think that's what happened with Willett?

I wonder how many would be defending the player if it was Patrick Reed?

No idea, never saw it. Just making the point (in response to the sweeping statement that spitting is unacceptable) that there are occasions when spitting is pretty much unavoidable.

Maybe, but not the case here I'm sure.

Is Willett known to be an habitual spitter? If so, then maybe a word in his ear by the right person would stop it. My guess is no, and he was unfortunate to be pictured just because he was leading the tournament. I'm not in any way condoning spitting, but I'm sure that there are plenty of golfers who do it, but don't get caught out because they are not in the frame. It seems the op's dislike of Willett motivated this thread as I'm sure he has seen other golfers spit and not started a thread.

from what I saw maybe he hypersecretes mucus.
For me it gets worse in the colder weather (sub 20 degrees or so) but I carry something appropriate to spit in to.

What he’s done wrong is doing it surreptitiously. He should have stood up, wind at his back, and gobbed high in the air to see how far the wind would carry it ?

I wonder if the thread would have been started had it been one of Scotland’s finest who did it?

Can you not see my UF avatar? I would have been happy to call out a Scot if it was one that did this.
or tried to suck it back up before it dropped
