Ryder Cup 2018: Brooks Koepka branded a 'filthy pig' for spitting on tee in front of fans

Cameras caught the US superstar gobbing onto the grass during the morning session of the opening day.

Three-time Major champion Koepka was left shaken earlier in his round when he left a female fan bloodied after smacking her in the eye with a wayward drive.

Koepka, 28, went to check she was OK as soon as he approached the horrific scene by the sixth green.

But it was his actions later on that left fans disgusted.

After footage showed him spitting in full sight of fans and cameras, one wrote: "Koepka spitting on tees and greens like a filthy pig."

Another user said: "Koepka spitting a gobfull on the tee. Disgusting."

Former Olympic gold medallist hockey star Sam Quek put a sick face emoji after posting: "… That's the third time I've seen a close up of Koepka spitting."
