What is happening to Karlsson? He has fecked up the last 2 holes and they have gone from 3 up to only 1 up. Idiot.
I cant stand American golf fans. All these "USA" chants and shouts of "get in the hole" after every shot make me cringe.
Absolutely agree.
Come on Europa!!
EDIT: We've fought back to all square in one of the remaining matches.
2.5 USA to 0.5 for Europa
USA 3 - 1 Europe
Living here and having to put up with the US winning would be too much!! Come on Europe!!
(Bad enough having to put up with Pool fans all week)
Oh dear.. not looking good
The Americans are playing much like a team without the distraction of Tiger. They might better asking him to stay at home next time.
why is one of the us golfers getting booed? or are they howling?
Yeah I mean I would rather someone like Boo Weekly playing Europes top player on Sunday when we needed a over Tiger, give it rest mjs
His name is Boo Weekley.
and hes a hick.
Americans were on a caddy celebrating like they had already won it. fecking idiots.
Most the people I speak to here, IN AMERICA, agree its a much better team without the distraction of Tiger.
Tiger couldn't give two shits about the Ryder Cup. Probably best not to have an influence like that in the team.
Exactly!
Plus his presence takes away from the overall team feel of the competition. Today I watched an American TEAM play great golf whereas if Tiger was playing the media and fans would have focused on him too much.
I love how the Europeans are complaining about the fans, what a bunch of whiners
Garcia and Westwood left out of the morning foursomes.
Nothing up with supporting your team but lest not forget this is a golf tournament. Respect is paramount and hockey/football type rowdiness is out of order. Cheering and clapping opponents mistakes is also very unsporting. I know its a natural reaction in the heat of the moment but more than once today the clapping went on for several seconds after the mistake, which is pretty disgusting.
Good. They were both shite yesterday.

WOW some of this American crowd are complete morons. When a European goes in a bunker you expect the dd cheer but they are calling the shot in LARGE numbers like you would after a god shot. Never seen or heard that sort of behavior at the Ryder Cup before.
Its a shame because most of the crowd are conducting themselves well but the tournament attracts a fair few yobs these days.

Yeah it's pretty small time. I mean if its the final day with the final pairing coming down the 18th about to win the Ryder Cup for the USA in America then maybe the chants of USA! USA! USA! could be forgiven but on the first day? I laughed when they were doing this on the final match yesterday only for the Europeans to come back and half it after being 3 down with 3 to play. It's good to support but when its like that its cringeworthy.
You are allowed to cheer and clap though, just not when someone is hitting the ball; it's not like they have had someone take a flash picture of them like Mick or else they would be crying about in their interviews blaming it for their loss
Poulter and Rose win 4 and 3.
Cheering and clapping an opponents mistake is not the done thing on a golf course.
Two shots bad European shots on the run the American crowd went wild and acted absolutely inappropriately. Disgusting behavior.
I am done watching this.

I can what you're saying, but keep a stiff upper lip as you watch your team get battered.

The Europeans are exactly the most gracious hosts when they are winning, you never hear the US team complaining about it; I reckon the fans wouldnt be an 'issue' if the European team was winningthe Ryder cup at Brookline was pretty bad for the abuse European players and fans got, i will always remember the American fans acting like a bunch of inbred cnuts and the players behavior not too far behind.

Oakland hills now that was a battering
I think it should be Great Britain v. the US; too bad the US domination was so bad after WWII that they changed it to the US v Europe in 1979.
Sorry the Irish were also originally involved as well
I have played and watched golf for 28 years, and attended several Ryder Cups. The European crowd usually respect the game and acts relatively gracefully. You just don't applaud opponents mistakes on a golf course, EVER. I have been at Ryder Cups when morons have cheered when Americans have made a bad shot and the crowd around them have let them know that is not acceptable.
This isn't football, its golf, and different standards of etiquette exist usually.

good post
To tell you the truth it doesn't surprise me that the standard of the crowd has dropped because in recent years the standard of golfers you see out playing as dropped dramatically. Many out of the courses these days have no sense of etiquette what so ever.

Good. Now stop sympathizing with the euro cnuts. THey've relished in their last several victories; it's about time for them to get their asses handed to them.
