Ryder Cup 2025 - All matters

[Burnsey]

Three putt for BDC

In defence of the American fans.

I actually thought it would be worse than it was. Yes things got heated and abuse hurled but the Ryder Cup has transcended golf. A lot of people go or watch who wouldn't normally watch a golf event. I believe there was only one report of physical violence between fans.

I've got no problem with singing, booing or even abuse as long as it's not during the backswing or directed at family members. We don't want a watered down event.

I can guarentee there was 100 times the amount of trouble and arrests at football games yesterday in England alone, than over the whole Ryder Cup. So it's bordering on laughable to put this down to a culture issue.

It's a sad state of affairs when you defend the behaviour of the USA fans by comparing to football fans.

Agreed.

If we started discussing the US domestic shenanigans we’d win. Again.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

And that just highlights the issue - just a poor 3 putt

And Rory shutting them up early

Hmmm. Not sure Rory’s wife would agree. Reports suggest she left the course yesterday in tears.

Apparently something was thrown over her and also thrown at Lowry’s wife

Players not draped in flags on first tee, and it seemed a more measured atmosphere today, to me. Hopefully a few lessons have been learnt.
The tools will no doubt follow Rory around though

 

[Pin-seeker]

There are long drive comps for that - one of the key ingredients for this is getting the ball in the hole

It’s fun to watch tho,just like when Rory bombs one

Both are sports fans, so why is it a sad state of affairs? Or is it because it doesn't fit your outlook?

People are using the US fans at the Ryder Cup to stereotype Americans. Using that same logic, what would you be happy if the world judged British people on the actions of a minority of football thugs?

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Rahms putter has gone cold since yesterday afternoon

To be fair, I said abuse at family members was unacceptable. No excuse for that.

The atmosphere adds to the event and makes it sweeter when we win

I stand by what I said.

If football fans scream personal insults and vulgar comments, it is appalling behaviour. Same is true in golf, badminton or rhythm gymnastics.

So I would use football fan behaviour to defend the US Golf fans when they are screaming such obscene comments

Nobody is criticising rowdy behaviour btw. It is the obscene chants and shouting during a players swing

I actually think there is more European fans the USA at the 1st grandstand today... Surprised that is isn't even close to being at capacity.. I reckon a good few have decided not to bother today..

I specifically said that any noise during a players swing was unacceptable though.

My point was I'm not going to judge Americans in general by the behaviour of a hundred or so idiots at a golf event, which a lot of people were doing.

Saw a tweet earlier that said many US fans had sold their tickets to European fans as they didn't want to be there.....

At quite a loss I think, $750 originally but on re-sale sites for $300……
