Tom Watson, the eight-time major winner and former Ryder Cup captain, has congratulated the victorious European team and apologised for the “rude” behaviour of the American crowd at Bethpage Black.
Europe’s thrilling victory over the USA was marred by incidents involving fans and spectators abusing the visiting players, particularly Rory McIlroy, with his wife Erica Stoll having a beer thrown over her and an MC standing down after leading an offensive chant about the Masters champion.
