Keegan Bradley dumbfounds Ryder Cup onlookers with astonishing response about the New York mob
It got so bad that PGA of America chiefs had to issue on-course messages, extra security was drafted in and police dogs were even beside greens.
Yet, instead of condemning the behaviour, Bradley opted to get involved in whataboutery and even attemped to draw comparisons with Rome two years ago.
Anger is one thing, but it has spilled into obscenity. Bradley ran the length of a fairway during practice waving an American flag and his players spent the summer telling Europe it would be wild, crazy and chaotic with Bryson DeChambeau even saying they wouldnt be ready.
But any notions of taking even a shred of responsibility for the carnage didnt register on Saturday night as he said: Yeah, Ryder Cups are wild. I dont appreciate those words that you just said. I know what youre trying to do. The Ryder Cup is full of passionate fans.

And I thought this was strange, the USA players are getting $500,000 each. Europe is not getting any money.

I can accept a "rowdy" crowd in the Ryder Cup - it seems unnecessary to add a "warm up" act here

I don't follow golf. So American golf spectators are behaving like Scottish soccer hooligans?
