I don't keep a log lol, but Sergio has done it. Further, Boo only did it once. Lastly, for being from a country that can't have a soccer game without riots, you sure are on a high horse.

Then Europeans should practice what they preach or get off of their soap box.

That's fine, but are you saying Sergio hasn't done this? (BTW, I'm a big Sergio fan and root for him to win in every major because I think he deserves one).

No, I was talking about the post to which you were responding. The guy acting like European fans act like choir boys. They don't and the players, other than Westwood, have said the same.

LOL, is this guy serious? Even the European players, other than Westwood, say it's exactly how the Europeans have behaved. LMAO

I also think it's fair play to not buy anything he endorses.

Look, I'm not saying he should have things thrown at him or screams in his backswing. I'm saying if he wants to whine and complain and try to take something away from the American victory after we've lost so many times in a row, which is exactly what he was trying to do, he can't expect to be a fan favorite over here. Probably won't happen, Sergio is still a fan favorite over here and he probably has behaved worse (by some of your all's definitions, not mine, I think it's fine to do what he does and what Boo did) than any competitior in the history of the Ryder Cup.

I very much doubt that happened. Westwood seemed intent on saying anything to make the Americans look back. Wouldn't be surprised at all if he made that up.

Did Boo complain about anything or say anything negative about Europeans? No, I don't thinks so. Dumb analogy.

Exactly. I guess these guys think Westwood should just be able to demean Americans and then come over here and take their money. BS. I hope he gets Monty treatment the rest of his career because he deserves it. If he wants American money, show some decency and stop acting like a whiney little baby. I can't imagine the treatment an American would get if they said the same things and then went to England, or even worse, Ireland. And lol @ somebody on their soap box because I said Westwood should get Monty treatment. Grow up and grow some.

Half hearted. I hope he gets abused by American fans the rest of his career.

What people like WESTWOOD are misssing is that having an event at which people, other than a player's family, can get excited gives golf a huge boost which puts $$$$ in their pockets in the long run. I thinks it's incredibly arrorgant to act like the fans are an annoyance when without them they'd be working at the mall.

I was just taking Geezer at his word, I guess I was mislead.

Poulter was nails. Hats off to him.

Fine, I'm just glad the Americans haven't wussed out and blamed Sergio and the crowd when they lose. If you watched the match, the crowd was quiet by the time Westwood got to his ball. Excuses are for losers. If Westwood feels so strongly he should skip the 3 majors playerd here. It's not like he can win one anyway.

Yes, it was, because the Europeans have done the same things. Therefore, it's stupid to complain in the press about one incident. He just needs to man up. He's was mad because they were losing and now he is mad because they lost. They can't win it every time. He needs to deal with that.

He probably did the one time. I'm glad he was man enough to admit it. But Westwood is acting like a giant baby. It's kind of stupid for him to bite the hand that feeds him. He'll probably get the Monty treatment from here on out.

I'm asking, did you specifically see Lee "wahhh" Westwood held up by the cheering encouraged by Weekley?

You saying he was?

I certainly didn't see him being held up.

I think Westwood is sad. NO ONE ever made any noise during his set up or swing. He's just upset they lost and he got destroyed personally. European crowds are just as bad or worse imo. The saddest thing of all is anyone defending the sour-grape complaints. You're obviously implying the crowd made noise during Westwood's next shot. Is that the case? Westwood less than a month ago. This guy needs therapy. _______________________________________________________ Lee Westwood sees red over Gleneagles greens Lee Westwood. Picture: Getty Images « Previous « PreviousNext » Next »View GalleryADVERTISEMENTPublished Date: 28 August 2008 LEE WESTWOOD today joined Darren Clarke in a scathing attack on the course where the 2014 Ryder Cup will be staged – and said he felt sorry for those battling this week for places in next month's match. "You can't bring the Ryder Cup onto greens like this," said the former European number one after a one-under-par 72 on the opening day of the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles. Clarke savaged the PGA Centenary Course last year, but was mild in comparison to his stablemate. Westwood's round included a four-putt double bogey on the 461-yard fifth, the last three of them from inside two feet. "They really do need digging up," he added. "I'm not a bad putter – I can't remember the last time I three-putted from 18 inches." He also attacked the undulations of the seventh green. "I think my kids could come up with a better design in an afternoon," he added. As for the six players trying to grab the last three automatic spots in Nick Faldo's side – and those trying to impress for a wild card – Westwood stated: "They are the guys I feel sorry for. "Unfortunately this tournament could be won or lost on the greens. "It's a big deal as it is and you don't want to stand over a three-footer wondering if the ball is going to run straight." Heavy recent rain has softened the putting surfaces, but Westwood was not prepared to accept that as an excuse. "I said last year the greens were awful and something needed to be done. Nothing has been done. "When you're between two valleys in Scotland you've got to expect rain," he continued. He was one of the early starters too. "What chance have you got when half the field have been over them?" he asked. Westwood was playing with Oliver Wilson, who is in the 10th and last automatic qualifying position going into this, the last counting event. Wilson managed only a three-over 76, but the good news for him was German Martin Kaymer, his closest challenger, could do no better. However, Liverpool's Nick Dougherty, who could grab a debut with a first or second-place finish at the weekend, battled away for a level-par 73. Frenchman Gregory Havret, winner of the Scottish Open last year, somehow managed a five-under 68 and led by two from his compatriot Christian Cevaer, Scot Gary Orr and England's Paul Broadhurst. Paul McGinley's already slim hopes of a wild card were not helped by a 76. Among the later starters were Clarke and Colin Montgomerie, two more of the wild card contenders, and Justin Rose, Soren Hansen and Ross Fisher, who occupy positions eight, nine and 13 in the cup race.
