After the end of this year's Ryder Cup, analysts of well-known figures in the world of golf reflected on the last event with a special emphasis on the fans. The USA fans created a tense atmosphere that was really hard to withstand, but the European golfers showed courage and character and ultimately used that atmosphere as a means of motivation.
Rory McIlroy, as expected, was the main target of fans who did not choose their words towards him or his wife, wanting to disrupt his focus and harm his team.

John Daly, a well-known face of this sport, spoke to Hard Rock Bet about the tense atmosphere, believing that the American fans had no bad intentions, but only supported their team.
