Patrick Reed makes feelings perfect clear on Ryder | Golf News

Patrick Reed did not maintain back when criticizing golf followers after Team USA’s Ryder Cup meltdown noticed the conduct of its own supporters behave in methods that even commentators described as a full shame, including attempting to offload their own tickets during the match.

The 2018 Masters winner and three-time Ryder Cup participant blasted the American spectators following the loss to Team Europe, labeling their conduct “appalling” and “embarrassing as an American.”

The competitors held in New York attracted a star-studded crowd, including the U.S. President, but vital focus shifted toward followers stepping over the road.

“There’s a lot of things that people say that you sit there and you go, if we weren’t at a golf course, there wasn’t a rope right there and you say something like that to some people, you’d be flat on your back,” Reed told reporters.

“They think they can just say whatever they want, get away with it. That’s a problem that needs to be fixed. People need to hold other people more accountable for it. It’s supposed to be a gentleman’s game. The way I heard the fans acted in New York was uncalled for. It’s embarrassing as an American. You don’t do that.”

Reed wasn’t alone in his revulsion. ESPN’s Mike Greenberg revealed he had to silence the coverage to bear watching it, describing the spectators as “grotesque” and stating their conduct eclipsed the precise sporting contest.

“I enjoyed watching without the sound so much more than I enjoyed watching with the sound,” Greenberg acknowledged. “Because I thought the crowds were so grotesque. It wasn’t a reflection of the American people.”

The conduct of the gang sparked controversy after Ryder Cup emcee Heather McMahan initiated a ‘—- you Rory’ chant on Day 2 from the first tee. McMahan later apologized and stepped down, with the PGA of America confirming her exit.

“Despite Team USA’s loss to Europe, for Reed, the outcome wasn’t the most disappointing aspect. It was what it revealed about the state of sportsmanship in the country. “You do not act that approach,” he expressed. “You do not say the issues that have been said. That’s not what this recreation is about.”

Reed has participated in 12 Ryder Cup matches, securing seven victories, three losses, and two draws, accumulating a total of eight points, which ties him for 18th on Team USA’s all-time list. His individual point rate of 66.7 percent is among the highest in modern American history.

He made a name for himself in his Ryder Cup debut at Gleneagles in 2014, posting a 3-0-1 record while teaming up with Jordan Spieth and defeating Henrik Stenson in singles.In 2016, he earned the nickname “Captain America,” winning three out of his five matches at Hazeltine, including a thrilling singles victory over McIlroy.

His 2018 campaign was tougher, with only one victory in three matches at Le Golf National, but his enthusiasm for the event remained undiminished. “Stuff like that wants to be seemed at,” he stated. “It’s not needed. It’s not wished. Hopefully, at some level, that turns around. Not just for me, for everybody.”
