When choosing between famous Mel Gibson movie quotes to shout at a live sporting event, one has many choices: There’s “They may take our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom!” Or “Every man dies, not Every man truly lives.”
But one fan at the Masters decided to dip into a different Gibson quote database.
On Saturday, as Rory McIlroy finished his tee shot on the 17th hole, a fan yelled, “GIVE ME BACK MY SON!”
You have to give the guy credit; that’s a pretty good impersonation.
Here’s the original; it comes from Gibson’s 1996 hit Ransom, in which he plays a millionaire named Tom Mullen, shouting that line into a phone while talking to his son’s kidnapper.
McIlroy went on to bogey the hole, falling from 12-under to 11-under.
No matter, the man who shouted the famous quote has likely spoken his last words at Augusta National. A lifetime ban is sure to follow shouting during play, which is considered a very serious infraction.
