tournament from a USA fan at the Ryder Cup. The PGA of America added extra
security to the Saturday fourballs at Bethpage Black due to fan behavior.
Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry were among the players heckled during their win
over Justin Thomas and Cameron Young. Earlier in the morning foursomes with Tommy
Fleetwood, McIlroy responded to a loud heckler. Then, he backed it up in style—firing his
approach close to the pin and securing the birdie for a 3&2 victory over
Harris English and Collin Morikawa. Multiple spectators were ejected, but Rory had already sent the message loud
and clear: American noise won’t break him.

Disgusting behaviour by American fans.this is not how sport is played.what has happened to American people.
And Americans wonder why the rest of the world despise them.
Just like an American to think throwing fuel on a fire will put it out
American AI is breaking me!
Euro TRASH
Let’s be fair – these are mostly New Yorkers. Have the Ryder cup in the south or Midwest and it’s a different story.
It is sad what we have become. Golf use to be so civil. The crowd at the Ryder Cup is just plan rude.
Everyone has to understand this is people from New York. This doesn’t represent the United States.
Goofy american behavior
The US of Trump
Meuricans.. 🙄
It's a disgrace, that the usa fans didn't stay around to congratulate there team on a great comeback.
Gotta be a true idiot to get ejected from a golf tournament, should be real proud of yourself especially if ya have kids
😂 can’t handle a Jab. Comment section is weak.
The first heckle in this clip was awesome, not on the person and just funny. The rest of the crowd was a disgrace
Whole continent vs. one country. Impressive.
They can't have both. Either you let them heckle you, and remain a stoic professional, or you cuss back at them and become one of them.
The spectators behaved like these uneducated idiots who are wearing silly red hats – made in China…….
Man this is truly pathetic
Beth Page has always had the worse fans
