European Ryder Cup<\/a> fans got their own back on their savage American rivals with a brilliant takedown of Patrick Cantlay.<\/p>\n The home galleries at Bethpage Black gave Rory McIlroy<\/a> some over-the-top abuse before a ball had even been struck on the opening first day morning foursomes.<\/p>\n They chanted “f*** you, Rory” when the Euro talisman<\/a> appeared on the giant screens at the first tee.<\/p>\n Yanks also screamed “fat boy” at Jon Rahm.<\/p>\n But Team Europe supporters got involved in some sledging of their own \u2013 and it was far funnier.<\/p>\n In the context of US player Cantlay being embroiled in controversy over his refusal to wear a cap in Rome two years ago, he got it tight off visiting fans.<\/p>\n They sang, \u201cCantlay has his hat on, hip, hip, hooray.
