  • A fan stormed the course at the US Open at Torrey Pines on Sunday.
  • The incident happened on the 13th fairway, with the fan getting in a few swings before getting tackled by security.
  • We do not condone storming the course at a golf major, but this fan's form looked pretty solid.

Sunday at the US Open is always an eventful day of golf.

As the best players in the world attempted to tame the greens of Torrey Pines, one fan decided that he wanted in on the action.

Just as Bryson DeChambeau was setting up to play his second shot out of the rough at No. 13, the fan stormed into the fairway with a club and two golf balls in hand.

Thankfully, that's not a metaphor.

The fan took two swings, showing solid form, before security surrounded him and forced evasive action.

Eventually, a golf cart with more security made its way onto the scene and the fan's day was finished.

On Monday, YouTuber Connor Murphy claimed responsibility for the stunt in a video.

For what it's worth, Torrey Pines is a municipal golf course, open to the public to play for around $70 a round for residents of San Diego and $200-250 for non-residents.

Given whatever punishment is coming for the fan that stormed the course, $250 to play all 18 holes feels like a steal.
