"Lot of people seem to have this fantasy where Justin Thomas grabs a magical on-course mic like he's Sam Wyche and says "Hey knock it off" but it's just not grounded in reality. In fact it likely would have made it worse. Fans booed the scoreboard message decrying hate speech"

"@KylePorterNS Things I can say w/ certainty: X. U.S. fans are often awful X. Bethpage was a new low for them X. Euro golf fans are more creative and fun X. Euro soccer fans are just as bad as US football fans X. If Patrick Reed had humped the Ryder Cup in 2016 they'd still be seething over it"

"One of the most frustrating things if you're a player trying to break into the Ryder Cup cadre must be how hard it is for guys to lose a "spot" they earned off what happened yrs ago. US would do well to get over the idea that it's a travesty to make say Morikawa sit a cycle"
