Well that's ok then,let's just let them behave like first class knobs.

Thing is you're not going to stop it are you. Just because one idiot is chucked out the xenophobic cheering isn't going to disappear. The players are getting on with it, for the most part and if they can get some blue on the board, then like last night they'll go quiet very quickly. Of course if they get up in the Westwood game and it's a 3-1 session then it will get loud and OTT. However if Garcia does that more often then it'll help

As long as Westwood doesn't stuff one into the water on the par 3 we'll be fine.....

You were pretty quiet when he was knocking in birdie putts to win holes - all you have done is post constant negative about Westwood.

Did he steal your last Rolo or something ?

To be fair, there have been plenty of times the US players have told the home crowds to shut it today. The atmosphere is nearly all good and it's just an extreme minority being idiots.

Anyway. The golf's too good to get distracted by internet gossiping. We need to sink some putts.

Come on!

So just let them get worse and worse, then?

If you don't punish some, more will do it.

Shame on all the US organisers, players and captains.

With an attitude like that then no you're not going to stop it.
Infact it'll get worse as it will be seen to be acceptable.

I'm so don't get this logic. We hear it all the time at football stadiums. Why are we so precious about our golfers?

Because that's football and this is golf and I'm sure you being a golfer can understand the difference between the two sports and how the crowds are expected to act

If golf crowds start to become like football crowds where it's common to throw abuse after abuse at players then the sport has gone to the dogs.

You don't throw abuse at golfers - it's as simple as that , it's a golf course not a football ground


And there is another spectator ( they aren't supporters or fans ) thrown out after abusing Stenson as he was about to putt

If you believe it's acceptable to throw abuse at a golfer then stick to football

Does that make it OK that we hear it all the time at football then? Would you not prefer something to be done about the imbeciles.

Should golf really just accept it because it happens in football?

Sorry, I wasn't on the forum back in the early 2000s;)

It ain't personal, just think he was very poor in the first match where he managed to lose 5 and 4 with one of the form players in the EUR team. Where as there are players such as Cabrera-bello, Matt FP and Wood sitting out who would have been a much better bet. I actually did think he was worth a captains pick. Unlike Kaymer

And I'm sorry but I just have no confidence in him knocking in putts. As just witnessed. .
