VIRGINIA WATER, England, May 28 (Reuters) - Scott Hend came close to punching two drunk fans who heckled him as the Australian was plotting his way to the top of the BMW PGA Championship leaderboard, he said on Saturday.
Hend featured in the last two-ball of the third round at Wentworth with home favourite, U.S. Masters winner Danny Willett of England.
"Danny was getting all the crowd support and I had no problem with that but there were a couple of guys out there who were really over the top and it wasn't very nice what they were saying," the 43-year-old told reporters.
