The Second Day of the Ryder Cup in New York on Saturday was Marred by Numerous Incidents Involving Spectators. Team Europe Captain Luke Donald Condemned the Behavior of the Fans, But Team USA Believes the Misconduct is not that bad.
The American fans repeatedly Disrupted the European golfers’ concentration with angry, insults, or other distracting noises. Among Others, Northern Irishman Rory Mcilroy and Irishman Shane Lowry Snapped Back.
Spectators Often Shouted ‘Fuck You Rory’ at McILROY Just before a shot. At One Point, The World Number Two had Enough and Shouted: ‘Shut the fuck up’. “The fans are allowed to make noise between shots, we expected that,” Mcilroy Said. “But show respect when we are about to tee off.”
Colleague Lowry Received Several Comments About His Weight, Among Other Things. The Irishman Wanted to confront a spectator but was stopped. He then informed the organization which spectator had to be removed from the course.
