Brooks Koepka is the golfer many expected to make the breakthrough and secure a spot on this year's Ryder Cup team. However, the experienced American suffered a serious setback at LIV Golf this year and missed out on a chance to join Keegan Bradley's team.
The 35-year-old golfer is likely disappointed by the outcome, but he is equally aware that he hasn't been that great this season.
Speaking to the media, Koepka pointed out that the golf fans in New York are very fun, probably wanting to get a taste of that atmosphere.
Brooks Koepka on whether the US crowd will have a strong reaction
The famous golfer also talked about the fans in New York and their attitude towards Europeans. It is clear that the American fans will be hostile towards the opposing golfers, and this could create serious problems for the European team, especially for the young golfers who have no experience of handling the pressure.

Brooks is not sure how American fans will treat European golfers, but he gave the example of Ian Poulter, who often knew how to respond to provocations.
This can create additional fire and influence the crowd to react even more strongly and to put pressure on one of the golfers during the entire match.
It will certainly be interesting to watch this year's Raider Cup and see what kind of atmosphere will prevail. It will not be easy for the Europeans in such an environment, but Luke Donald will carefully prepare them for what awaits them.
