Harambe the Gorilla Fans Heckled Multiple Golfers at the 2016 PGA Championship

Fans seemed half-serious and half-jokingly expressing their support of Harambe the Gorilla at the Baltusrol Golf Club.

The PGA Championship on Sunday at the Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, N.J. had some really crazy Harambe the Gorilla fans who sounded like Adam Sandler clones from his film Happy Gilmore. Except these fans weren't screaming at golf balls to crawl their own way inches into the holes after putts that went a short. Instead, the few screaming fans at the course yelled "Harambe!" as they watched drives and putts from golfers like Jordan Spieth and Henrik Stenson, Jason Day, and Jimmy Walker on the leaderboard.

The hecklers are using the platform of the PGA Championship to express their continued support for Harambe that was shot dead at the Cincinnati Zoo in May. The beloved 400-pound gorilla was killed after it had grabbed and held a 3-year-old boy who fell into the enclosure where it lived. Since then, numerous conspiracy theories, petitions were created to blame the parents, and unassuming suspects on Facebook have been scapegoated for the death of the 17-year-old Harambe.

Here are some clips of the Harambe lovers who just wouldn't let up as they yelled at these golfers on the course, as well as some reactions to their love of the fallen mammal:
