Tom Watson says he was ‘ashamed’ of US fans’ conduct at Ryder Cup

Tom Watson says he was ‘ashamed’ of US fans’ conduct at Ryder Cup

In a statement, American golf legend Tom Watson apologized for the "rude and mean-spirited behaviour" of U.S. fans towards European players and their families during the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. Watson admitted he was "ashamed" of the abusive conduct in the galleries, which overshadowed Europe's dramatic 15-13 victory. Rory McIlroy had earlier confirmed that his wife, Erica, was hit by a beer thrown by a fan. Watson congratulated the European team on their performance and said their play in the first few days was "sensational." The incident highlights the unsportsmanlike conduct that can sometimes mar major sporting events.
