(Reuters) -PGA of America chief executive Derek Sprague said on Thursday he will apologise directly to Rory McIlroy and the rest of Europe’s Ryder Cup team and their families for the abusive behaviour they suffered from some spectators during last week’s contest. “It’s unfortunate that people crossed the line last week,” Sprague told the Golf Channel. “Rory might have been a target because of how good he is, but the entire European team should not have been subjected to that. Matt Fitzpatrick from Team Europe criticised newly elected PGA of America president Don Rea for remarks defending crowd conduct, calling them “offensive” to European supporters. The 2027 Ryder Cup will be held at Adare Manor in Ireland.
