MEDINAH, Illinois (AFP) — Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler was so aggravated by a yelling US supporter at the Presidents Cup on Sunday that he conceded a 30-foot chip shot to Colombia's Nico Echavarria.

The stand for sportsmanship took place on the 14th hole at Medinah late in the concluding singles matches of the event, which the United States won for the 11th consecutive time, beating the Internationals, 17-13.

Scheffler owned a 3-up lead over the South American when a spectator in the crowd yelled as Echavarria was in the process of making his shot, the ball sailing well right as he glared at the disruptor.

Scheffler, a four-time major winner, walked toward the gallery and said, "There's no place for that."

To back up his point later on the hole, Scheffler conceded an unlikely chip shot and both players finished with a par on the hole, when Scheffler would likely have taken a 4-up lead with four holes remaining.

"It's just ridiculous, somebody yelling in his swing off the tee," Scheffler said after the match.
