"I thought the fans were passionate. I mean, their home team is getting beat bad. They are passionate fans. I wasn't at Rome but I heard a lot of stories that Rome was pretty violent as well. But the fans of New York from what I have seen have been pretty good. You're always going to have a few people that cross the line and that's unfortunate."
"Bradley took umbrage with the suggestion the US team had stoked those in the stands. Collin Morikawa called for fans to bring chaos to the Ryder Cup. Ryder Cups are wild, Bradley said. I don't appreciate those words that you just said. I know what you're trying to do. The Ryder Cup is full of passionate fans, full of passionate players."
"Bradley went so far as to curiously suggest spectators had been violent during the Ryder Cup in Rome two years ago. Bradley's approach was in stark contrast to that of his European counterpart, Luke Donald, who believes some those in the galleries engaged in unacceptable conduct. Europe lead their hosts 11-4 heading into the final day. Just as striking on Saturday, though, was a series of unacceptable shouts towards European players."
Keegan Bradley refused to condemn American Ryder Cup fans despite grim scenes at Bethpage Black and suggested spectators had been violent at the Rome Ryder Cup two years ago. Bradley contrasted his view with Luke Donald, who called some gallery conduct unacceptable and described personal insults and distracting noises during players' swings as crossing the line. Europe led the United States 11-4 heading into the final day. Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry completed a fourball victory with state troopers lining holes amid regular, personal shouts aimed at European players. Bradley defended fans as passionate while acknowledging a few crossed the line.
