Jordan Spieth finished his practice round at the Pebble Beach Golf Links on Wednesday, and stopped after coming off the 18th green to sign some autographs for fans.

The two-time major winner signed his name for some kids, but was heckled by some adults he passed as he headed for roped-off staging area. Later, he said he thought they were professional autograph seekers who then profit from the autographs and signed memorabilia. 

The comments reportedly included some obscenities Spieth said he’d had it. From GOLF.com:

“So I turned around and one of them dropped an F-bomb in front of three kids, so I felt the need to turn around and tell them that that wasn’t right,” Spieth said at his press conference Wednesday. “And a couple of them were saying, ‘You’re not Tiger Woods, don’t act like you’re Tiger.’ I mean, it’s just like, Whatever, guys. You’re still trying to benefit off me and I’m not even Tiger Woods. So, you know, what’s that say about you?”

He doesn’t think much of autograph seekers looking for profit, telling them, “Go get a job instead of trying to make money off of the stuff that we have been able to do.”

Spieth will play in a foursome with Dustin Johnson, Wayne Gretzky and Dustin johnson at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am on Thursday.
