Commentator drops huge F-bomb during Women’s Olympic Golf broadcast

Golf Fans React to Commentator’s Alleged F-Bomb During Women’s Olympic Golf at Le Golf National

During the third round of the Women’s Olympic Golf Competition at Le Golf National, fans were left in disbelief when it seemed that commentator Morgan Pressel dropped an F-bomb on air.

The moment unfolded after Canadian golfer Brooke Henderson sank a birdie, narrowing the gap between her and overnight leader Morgane Metraux. In her excitement, Henderson turned to her sister and caddie, Brittany, for a celebratory fist pump. Commentator and former LPGA Tour player Morgan Pressel then remarked, “Yeah, let’s give Brittany a little fist pump.”

But it was what she said next that sparked the buzz among viewers. “She is f—ing fired up! You love to see it,” Pressel seemed to say on the broadcast.

Fans were quick to react on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). One user asked, “Was that Morgan dropping the F-bomb?” Another chimed in, “I heard the same thing!” Some even joked about the intensity of the competition, with one saying, “As everyone knows, there are no TV rules on moving day at the Olympic women’s golf competition.” Yet another added, “Can’t say I dislike it.”

However, on closer inspection, it appears that Pressel may not have dropped an expletive after all. If you listen carefully, what she likely said was, “She’s getting fired up.” Nonetheless, the moment led to widespread speculation and amusement among fans.

### GB Struggles at Le Golf National

Meanwhile, Switzerland’s Morgane Metraux maintained her one-stroke lead after 36 holes. Team GB’s hopes rested on Charley Hull and Georgia Hall. Hall found herself in 36th position at 4-over after two rounds, while Hull, who had a rough start, was tied for 52nd. Hull attributed her performance to an unfortunate fall in the shower, rather than a smoking ban.

Both British players will continue into the weekend, as there is no cut in this event.

Elsewhere, American world number one and defending Olympic champion Nelly Korda faced her own challenges. After a strong start, a quadruple bogey sent her six shots behind the leader. However, Korda made a significant comeback on Friday, surging back up the leaderboard.

The Women’s Olympic Golf Competition continues to deliver excitement and unexpected moments, both on the course and in the commentary booth.
