Ryder Cup officials try and fail to get a chant going<\/p>\n

The intimidating Ryder Cup<\/a> atmosphere Europe were warned to prepare for has been posted missing for the second day in a row as travelling fans mock their hosts with chants of “this this a library?”<\/p>\n

The usually rowdy US golf fans in New York have been little more than an occasional nuisance to Luke Donald<\/a>‘s lads, who have pit their gas firmly at a peep by winning both Friday sessions to take a 5.5-2.5 lead into day two.<\/p>\n

Team Europe have made light work of a course that has proved to be far from the challenging beast that was promised, with the short rough and the sloping greens not playing into the USA’s hands as expected.<\/p>\n

It’s been the boys in blue sinking putts and putting their colour on the board and the home fans haven’t been given much to shout about, bar alcohol.<\/p>\n

Rory McIlroy<\/a> was greeted with a foul mouthed chant before teeing off yesterday, and the same ditty was directed at European fans in Irish shamrock suits today.<\/p>\n

Afternoon playing partner Shane Lowry found the library chant particularly amusing before he and Rory added another half point to the total in the final fourball match on Friday.<\/p>\n

He got the same treatment this morning, but opened his arms and blew kisses in response. A minority then attempted to get ‘a****e, a*****e’ going, but it didn’t take off and they kept quiet for his tee shot.<\/p>\n

Some punters have crossed the line, with one shouting on the Scot Bob McIntyre’s backswing<\/a>, while another deliberately coughed as McIlroy tried to play, before the Master champ holed a big putt and gave some back in response.<\/p>\n

But mostly, it’s been a subdued affair with the European fans doing all the celebrating.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump’s appearance, a flyover from a couple of jets and a version of the Star Spangled Banner got things going a little bit before the Friday fourballs, but that soon died down as it became clear Europe weren’t going to crumble in the face of all that patriotism.<\/p>\n

Tournament officials attempted to orchestrate a chant in front of the stand on the first tee, which resulted in booing when no-one could stamp or clap in time, then weren’t instrested in a Bryson DeChambeau chant.<\/p>\n

A blast of AC\/DC’s Hells Bells preceded DeChambeau and rookie Cameron Young heading on to the first tee for their opening foursomes match against Matt Fitzpatrick and Ludvig Aberg.<\/p>\n

But they are tolling for the Yanks so far, who need something to spark a turnaround.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The hostile home crowd have been more annoying than intimidating as things fall flat on and off the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":455467,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4106],"tags":[77273,32,2826,135786,83846,4287,4321,7929,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-455466","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-bob-macintyre","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-ludvig-aberg","12":"tag-luke-donald","13":"tag-rory-mcilroy","14":"tag-ryder-cup","15":"tag-shane-lowry","16":"tag-sports","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115276563776978764","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=455466"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455466\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/455467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=455466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=455466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=455466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
