Team Europe vice captain Dodo Molinari has clarified whether there was ever a consideration of halting play at the Ryder Cup due to the vile abuse directed at his players from American fans.
Volatile fan behaviour was front and centre at Bethpage Black over the course of three days as Europe’s golfers were pelted with unsavoury heackles from the galleries. Rory McIlroy’s wife Erica had a beer thrown at her in a widely criticised action, while PGA of America chief executive Derek Sprague said he would apologise to McIlroy and the rest of the European team.
