Golf influencer Paige Spiranac has criticized Zach Johnson after the former USA Ryder Cup captain was caught angrily telling fans at The Masters on Friday.<br/><br/>Johnson, who led the American team at last year's Ryder Cup in Rome, was having a difficult second round at Augusta National.<br/><br/>He was scrambling to save a double bogey on the 12th hole when he missed a putt from around 10 feet.<br/><br/>After walking over to his ball and tapping it in from close range for a triple bogey, a ripple of applause emerged from the patrons gathered around the green.<br/><br/>Infuriated by the gesture, he angrily shouted off' and it was picked up clearly by microphones nearby. <br/><br/>It compounded a miserable day for Johnson, who finished three-over to take his total score to seven-over. It means he won't cut this weekend.<br/><br/>Spiranac was not impressed by Johnson's behavior and took to social media to hit out at him. <br/><br/>She wrote: 'The patrons at Augusta are unbelievably supportive and mild-mannered.<br/><br/>'You can’t find a more pleasant environment to play golf in. The fact ZJ said this proves he’s softer than baby poop. Such a bad look.'<br/><br/>Speaking after his round, Johnson apologized and insisted he was swearing at himself out of frustration.<br/><br/>He said: 'After my putt for double bogey? Or after my putt for triple - I guess it doesn't matter. I don't understand the situation at all. What are they saying that I did or said?<br/><br/>'That I swore at the patrons? That's laughable. That's completely laughable. I can't hear the patrons, number one. <br/><br/>'Number two, I just made a triple bogey on the 12th hole that is going to make me miss the cut, which at the time I knew was pretty sensitive in the sense that I needed to keep making pars.<br/><br/>'If I've said anything, which I'm not going to deny, especially if it's on camera, one, I apologize, and two, it was fully directed towards myself entirely because I can't hear anything behind me. Does that make sense?'<br/><br/>Johnson is a former Masters champion. He won the Green Jacket in 2007 after narrowly beating Tiger Woods and South African duo Retief Goosen and Rory Sabbatini.<br/><br/>The 48-year-old also won The Open in 2015 and has wracked up 26 wins as a professional golfer.<br/><br/>Despite his success, it is not the first time Johnson has clashed with golf fans this season.<br/><br/>At the typically rowdy Waste Management Open in Phoenix in February, he was seen to be fuming at a group for making too much noise. <br/><br/>While it's not clear why the American became so enraged, he was filmed saying: 'I'm just sick of this. Just shut up!' <br/><br/>Speaking after his round that day, Johnson said: 'You're hitting me at a very emotional point right now, so if I were to say if I'm gonna come back, I'd probably say no. But at the same time, I have no idea.'
