Rory McIlroy was constrained to put up with boisterous American fans at the US Open.
It saw McIlroy toss absent however another brilliant chance to conclusion his major dry spell, with his final triumph coming at the PGA Championship a decade ago.After he missed his putt on the ultimate gap, the swarm broke out into a collective chant of ‘USA, USA’ as he lined up his another shot. Colin Montgomerie, a three-time US Open runner-up, was not inspired with the response and said those capable were not genuine golfers.
He told talkSPORT:
“The American fans that go to a golf competition are not for the most part golfers. You get The Open, or a Scottish or an Irish occasion, and it’s as a rule golfers who go to those occasions. They appreciate and get it the behavior of the game.”In America, it’s not. It’s a part of baseball fans and football fans who have been drinking all day and love to yell the word ‘USA’. It’s not truly golf. It’s not the behavior of the diversion. It’s very anti rest of the world.
“America feel like they are the finest and the loudest. They certainly are the loudest.”
