Can't understand Rose going for that - seems like really poor match management
 
And Harman's done what in golf? harsh.....
Still cant get my head around the American crowds chearing a crap Euro shot,Fitz just stuck one in the water and they totally humiliated the lad,dont like that.

And the European crowds were the model of sympathy when Mahan duffed his chip at Celtic Manor.

Sorry but the reaction was nothing compared to what we are hearing right now

Not one person shouted anything towards the players as they were lining up shots or putts - no booing of gimmies , no demands that they putt it

People shouting to players "get in the water" as they preparing for their shots is IMO not on

Even the US players are asking for them to shut up - that speaks volumes
 
That was for the tournament win. A little different

Not really, cheering an oppositions bad shot is cheering an oppositions bad shot. Both sides do it, I'm sure the players can cope, if not then they should not be on the team.

As i recall the cheers where more toward graham being given a meal ticket rather than a bad shot.

Spot on.

Wrong, I'm afraid.
They weren't cheering Mahan's bad shot so much as cheering Europe's win.
At Hazletine they're just cheering Europe's bad shot and their bad luck.
Totally different scenarios.
 
Fourballs

Johnson/Koepka vs McIlroy/Pieters
Holmes/Moore vs Westwood/Willett
Mickleson/Kuchar vs Garcia/Kaymer
Reed/Speith vs Stenson/Rose
 
I have no problem with the atmosphere.

The ryder cup is a team event and most team sports have vociferous fans. How many of us whilst supporting our football team have taken pleasure in an opponents mistake? why should golf expect to only have prawn sandwich fans.

The noise use in whatever form it comes is welcome by me. It adads to the atmosphere.
 
If I was Sullivan I'd be raging getting left out for Westwood and Kaymer after the bag of spanned they've played.

No idea why he doesn't keep Cabrera-Bello with Garcia?

I hope I'm wrong of course but odd choices imo
 
Come on !! If they get a half out of that match it could be massive

You must be watching a different RC. I think while the players are playing the crowd have been pretty respectful. Once the ball is in the air, when it makes no odds what they say, there has been the odd out of order shout of "in the water" etc but on the whole I'd say noisy but not over any lines yet. Funny how no-one in the team or non-playing staff or any of the coverage has made too much of it.

It's certainly not something I would do.

But maybe that's part of the reason he's a Major winner and you and I are just 'hackers'!

PMA is all important down the stretch - and that starts from the 1st tee in RC!
