The camera person followed the couple in a 'stalker-esque manner' shifting the focus towards Gretzky, who was wearing a short, tight-fitting, white dress, instead of the golf champion.
The camera person then zoomed in to Gretzky's lower body as she pulled her skirt down to cover her legs, and it was all broadcast to the world on Fox Sport.
Twitter exploded with divided reactions.
Some celebrated the cameraman's action, while others said it was unprofessional.
This FOX cameraman should be embarrassed. I mean - really?! #DustinJohnson #PaulinaGretzky #USOpen https://t.co/STCsdfJj65

If golfers did their job today as well as the camera man following Paulina Gretzky up the stairs did his, this #USOpen would be a classic

Congrats out to @PaulinaGretzky on one heck of a walk off the 18th green today. Hope to see more of that in the future.
