Tyrell Hatton tells European supporters not to sink to level of US fans at Bethpage | Ryder Cup

Tyrrell Hatton urged European supporters not to bend down in American golf fans when the Ryder Cup heads for Adare Manor in 2027.

Europe players were roughly abused, Rory McILroy and his American wife, Erica, targeted particularly vile treatment while Bethpage became ugly. Hatton, who obtained half-time on Sunday who guaranteed victory for Europe, said the fans of the house not to seek reprisals in Ireland in two years.

“If it was my choice and what I say is not really going to affect the way people behave, I don’t really think the insults are the way to follow,” said Hatton. “Some team guys had a lot worse than others. For me, there were a lot of insults perhaps around the height, the hair or the weight, some of which I say to myself almost anyway, so it was not like something new.

“But I would prefer that it is a respectful atmosphere. You let the guys play and the best team wins – rather than trying to affect the result by trying to push players or things like that. I don’t think it will be as hostile as maybe last week. I would like it will be very respectful.”

The American captain, Keegan Bradley, who refused to condemn “passionate” home fans at Bethpage, said that the behavior of the New York course was no different from that in Rome two years ago, when Europe organized for the last time. Hatton, who remained undefeated during a second successive Ryder Cup, had none of this.

“Personally, I don’t think they were close at all,” said English. “Admittedly, with what I heard last week, I don’t think Rome is approaching. I think they are quite distant.”

The Director General of the PGA of America, Derek Sprague, told the golf channel that he intended to contact McILroy in person to apologize for what he and his wife have experienced. “I plan to send them an email with my sincere apologies for what happened,” said Sprague. “There is no room for this in the Ryder Cup or in the Golf.

“I can’t wait to reach out to Rory and Erica and really, very frankly, the whole European team. The whole European team should not have been subject to this. And because of this, I feel bad and I plan to apologize to them.

“When he started in 1927, it was sportswoman and integrity of the game, and that is what we want to be and continue to be and it is regrettable that people crossed the line last week.”

However, Matt Fitzpatrick called on Wednesday the president of the organization, Don Rea, for his agitated reaction to the defeat at home 15-13 during the presentation of the trophy. “I don’t want to speak on behalf of everyone, but we felt that there was a little bitter when they presented the trophy,” said Fitzpatrick. “Me and Rosey [Justin Rose] The two looked at each other as if to say: “It was not a very sincere congratulations.” He said we only kept it but in fact we won it. “”

While Hatton and Fitzpatrick return to action today alongside Tommy Fleetwood and Bob McIntyre at the Alfred Dunhill Links championship in Scotland, Luke Donald is thinking about the opportunity to stay for a third term as a captain of Europe. Fleetwood thinks that work should be Donald if he wants it after consecutive triumphs, but that Europe has a successor ready to use in his vice-captain Francesco Molinari.

“The ball is probably in Luke’s courtyard and I think he won this,” said Fleetwood. “I spoke about it several times to Francesco. I think that the respect he has of his peers and players, his achievements and his experience, I think that is great to be a captain of the Ryder Cup. ”
