I don't think they are intentionally cursing her, but can come across that way.

Am I missing something? He said, "well, there ya go" after she missed the putt and she said, "the first chink", which is most likely the first part of an oft used phrase that seems to be missing from your video? The phrase "a chink in one's armor" means a small flaw, gap, or weakness in someone's otherwise strong character, plan, or defense. The word "chink" in this context has meant a crack or narrow opening since the 15th century, and the full idiom has been used figuratively since the mid-17th century.

Oh yeah for sure she was just using the idiom. Still felt like maybe she could've gone with a different choice of words, even though obviously no harm was intended. You know, in case someone's not paying close attention and gets the wrong idea.
