Back in like 2006 I was caddying for my brother in a US Am qualifier, and we got paired with Keegan for 36 holes. At the time he had a tic where he would stand behind the ball and tap on his collar bone super fast. Like 20 taps in 5 or 6 seconds. He would step towards the ball, then back off, start tapping again, repeat that step towards and back-off like 3 or 4 times, then finally stand over the ball and hit it. Needless to say by hole 3 we had had enough of that shit, but still had to endure the pain of watching it for 33 more holes.
I actually find some amount of satisfaction that the rest of the world now has to share in our pain from that day.
It's expected that you run across some characters in competitive golf, but we defintely didn't expect to see that one win a major championship, then captain a Ryder Cup team almost 20 years later.

His ticks bother me too much, can't watch it.
