"I hope Friday is just absolute chaos,"
"I'm all for it. We want it. We want to use that to our advantage."
"We had a crowd but it wasn't as big as what they say it's going to be here,"
"Watching all these kids, I know they want autographs,"
Collin Morikawa describes crowds at Bethpage Black during three practice days as tame and seeks a louder, chaotic atmosphere when competition begins. Fans were admitted to the grounds ahead of early Friday starts as players prepared. Morikawa has Ryder Cup experience and previously played on U.S. soil at Whistling Straits in 2021, when pandemic conditions reduced the first-tee atmosphere. Anticipation for a strong Bethpage crowd has grown since the venue announcement, and host teams have won the last six Ryder Cups, with the last away victory in 2012 at Medinah.
