5-3 will be letting these off the hook massively
The cheering of bad shots is bad form. It is just not done.
Tolerable if it is one that decides a match and the cheering can be taken as cheering the victorious player. But just in the play of a hole, when the hole itself is not decided, let alone the match, is bad bad form from the patrons.

Does it not happen every Ryder Cup? And it isn't the same booing/jeering at football matches, where fans show genuine hate. It is all done in pretty good spirits. And the Americans are big boys. I'm sure they expect it and can take it. And if they had been playing better, probably quite enjoy a bit of banter between them and the home support.

On the ropes when a half gets them pumped 
It may well happen in every, recent times at least, Ryder Cup. But that doesnt make it right. Golf normally attracts a better sort. It is most ungentlemanly.

It's one party vs another, red vs blue, and the Europeans are at home. I was just thinking its brilliant when a USA ball sails into the water and the majority cheer!
A course with eight par threes like this add much more drama and contest than one might expect.

Can't have this go to 5-3, what a disappointment that would be after today's start :/

Feels like since about the 6th hole of the 4BBB, momentum has just swung the other way - 5-3 would almost feel like a halved day for the Americans after this mornings session!

Every time the US players hit a great shot, or win a hole, they get warmly applauded by the fans. It is clear their is no malice when they cheer the bad shots.
It is called an atmosphere, the sort of atmosphere you get with the only genuine team sport in professional golf that is able to get fans passionate about the team.
I love it.

I dont understand the splitting on Hatton and Rahm. Mcintyre Rose never looked like a decent pairing either. 3-1 USA this afternoon

I think Rahm to support the rookie? Barely shown MacIntyre hit a shot so assume he's having a mare.

I just think they don't like showing left handers, looks amateurish.

On one tee they have shots from a drone (I think) and I thought the player was about to hit into the back tee board! It was him...
Have to say I was worried about MacIntyre coming in and whether he could take the pressure. So far it would appear not.

GREAT chip-in from Rahmbo! To tie it up as well, perfect
