I hear you. I’m not the heckling type. I’m too respectful and honestly enjoy watching people succeed. But I have no problem with it. Especially when it’s clever. Soccer fans are good at that. “Hats off to your bank account” was pretty good. It’s part of being an athlete. I’d prefer it not be vulgar in front of kids. But I’ve been to Steelers games….”You suck” is really mild.

Regarding the fervor and fan behavior. I’m fairly new to golf, come from a tennis background. The Davis Cup doesn’t feel like other pro events. It’s intense, it’s intimidating, it’s very nationalistic. It’s also considered a great venue for players to rise above and face an adversity they would not normally. I love it. Love the Ryder Cup. I’ve never seen anything that crossed the line to dangerous or threatening in a real world way.

There’s definitely still a path. It’s slim and will need alot to go right. But it’s there.

I think Rory may have overreacted a bit. Depending on what someone said because he definitely looks to be reacting to something someone said off camera. But that last angle they showed on 'Live From' doesn't make LaCava look good either. He's not in Rory's line but he's definitely in his space as Rory is trying to get into his routine. And when Rory shoo's him away, he lingers and says something to either Rory or someone just past Rory, as Rory is crouched down reading the putt. Then he waves his hand at Rory who's in his routine fully at that point. Rory could have given it a couple seconds to quiet down as well. Neither had a great moment, but they are reacting in real time to huge emotional moments. Tough to get on anyone too hard for that. Hopefully makes for great sporting tomorrow and a comeback for the ages.

The very first thought I had on Friday when I flipped on the TV was, "Those hats are terrible." They actually looked cheap. I don't know who made them, and its hard to see them skimping on hats, but they had a weird shape in the front. I could absolutely see one of them getting the hat and saying "no thanks." They looked liked $8.99 gas station hats.

Now Rory is getting into it with someone, (Joe LaCava off camera?), in the parking lot. Bones and Lowry trying to keep the peace. HatGate has legs. Rory was legit heated at something. Hard to believe it was the 30 seconds of caddie hat waving. This scoreline is going to rob us of a potentially epic day tomorrow.
