Ben Taylor won the Web.com Tour's Club Colombia Championship on Sunday in a six-shot runaway, but there was some drama a little further down the leaderboard. Lee McCoy bogeyed two of his final three holes to drop from inside the top 10 to a T-20 finish, and he took to Twitter afterward to express his frustrations with the galleries, specifically the kids who were asking for his apparel to keep as souvenirs.There were at least 30 kids out there who were there only to try and get free stuff from us. So no, Im not grateful they were out there, the 24-year-old said in one Twitter reply.It wasn't the only tweet about the incident, however. McCoy, who finished fourth at the 2016 Valspar Championship as an amateur, also claimed that one kid "learned a life lesson" because McCoy refused to give up his hat, glove or shoes after the 18th hole and decided to get political, comparing the conditions of President Trump's United States to that of South America.Here is a screenshot of all the tweets, via @TronCarterNLU:
The original tweets have since been deleted. They are below for reference, along with a few other greatest hits from this week. #GrowTheGame pic.twitter.com/9k5t95OvkX— Tron Carter (@TronCarterNLU) February 12, 2018That didnt exactly smooth things over with the angry Twitter mob.McCoy eventually deleted his entire Twitter account, but not before several fellow pros caught wind of the ordeal and chimed in with their disapproval.
The lesson will be yours if you continue to shun these kids who dream to walk in your shoes one day. No one will ask for anything from you, and that will be when you know its over. Be careful how quickly you run them off.— InTheFlesch (@Steve_Flesch) February 12, 2018

The Tigers are well out of the playoff race without any signs of an impending turnaround. Only the Orioles have a worse run differential. So, Detroit will probably become sellers soon and if a long-term rebuild is in their future, they will have little use for a reliever like Greene, even with another year left on his contract.
