I was in the moment. Maybe a little aggressive of a comment. I watch F1. I was so pumped to be able to spray champagne like they do in F1. I was in the moment.

But I think there's a way to resolve it that benefits everybody involved from the fans to the players, to the organisations and everyone." The 38-year-old said "I don't read anything. "I think there's space in the world of professional golf that they can co-exist and it's not just here or there. "I think there's a way to resolve this. We've caught a lot of flak for what we've done [but] I think one thing that cannot be questioned is the quality of players that are there.

After Talor Gooch won a LIV Golf team event, he said one of the most moronic things ever uttered at a pro golf tournament.

Then he was suspended by the PGA Tour for violation of its regulations and claims that he was caught by surprise even though the Tour had threatened it would do just that. “It was just I was in the moment with them. I watch F1. I was so pumped to be able to spray champagne like they do in F1. I was in the moment. “I’d like to think that the majors would like to have the best players in the world playing in their events in spite of everything that’s going on, but obviously that’s not up to me. I was in the moment. I might have gotten a little aggressive with the comments.’ ” Gooch said.

In hindsight, Talor Gooch understands his comments about a LIV Golf event being a Ryder Cup were 'aggressive.'

“I was able to keep the ball in the fairway,” Gooch said. Perhaps that's why he is trying to soak up the atmosphere of this major, the only the eighth he has participated in during his career, in particular. I just won [Gooch’s team had won the team competition]. I was in the moment.” After shooting an opening-round 68 under the more difficult afternoon conditions on Thursday, Gooch followed with a three-under 69 Friday to sit two back of Dustin Johnson after the finish of the early wave. Comparing the atmosphere of one of the biggest events in golf to that of an upstart tournament was, in hindsight, a mistake. If he didn’t know that from the social-media beating he took in the wake of comparing the LIV Golf Invitational at Pumpkin Ridge to a Ryder Cup—“I haven't played a Ryder Cup or a Presidents Cup, but can't imagine there's a whole hell of a lot of difference.”—he certainly has learned it this week while playing at the Open Championship.
