I was afraid of my life. The disappearance of climate change will expire …
The activist, who is a slope of smoke and powder, attacked the 18th green in the last few minutes of Connecticut traveler. Six people have been arrested.
A golfer who was involved in a climate change protest that marred the finale of a PGA event in the United States has stated that he was “scared for my life”. Akshay Bhatia was finishing the final round of the Travellers Championship in Connecticut with Scottie Scheffler and Tom Kim when Extinction Rebellion demonstrators attacked the 18th green, unleashing colored smoke and powder.
Six protesters were arrested by police after the prank on Sunday afternoon, some of whom were wearing T-shirts that read “No Golf on a Dead Planet”. Bhatia said: “I feared for my life. “We didn’t even know what was going on. But luckily the police were there to protect us, because it’s really weird. This comes after the tournament was postponed on Saturday after three people were injured by lightning that struck a tree near the course. The match was delayed five minutes as a result of the protest.
Scheffler ultimately won the playoff race.
The world number one, who was arrested while driving at the PGA Championship last month, welcomed the police response. He said staff “took care of it very quickly and we are very grateful.” “When something like this happens, it can be a little unsettling because you don’t really know what’s going on,” Scheffler continued. “It can be a stressful situation, and you don’t want the tournament to end in a weird way because of that situation.”
