Tom Watson 'ashamed' after Ryder Cup and takes aim at US fans' behaviourThe 2024 Ryder Cup was marred by incidents of fan abuse, with Team USA captain Keegan Bradley refusing to condemn the New York crowd for their behaviourView 3 Images US team captain Tom Watson attends a press conference marking one year to go until the 2014 Ryder Cup golf competition at Gleneagles Golf Course in Perthshire, Scotland on September 24, 2013. American skipper Keegan Bradley didn't consider the hostility particularly severe, describing the New York crowd as "pretty good". The former Team USA Ryder Cup captain bemoaned the American faithful, while organizers were urged to act after onlookers were "horrified" at what they heard said to McIlroy. Watson, 76, was a playing winner at the 1977, 1981, and 1983 editions of the Ryder Cup before captaining Team USA to victory in 1993. While he acknowledged that some of the chirps crossed the line, he harkened back to the unruly atmosphere at the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome and refused to condemn their behavior.
