“Bold from a team that are 5 down”: Golf fans mock Team America mocking Europe by waving their caps

After the end of the final fourball match in the ongoing 2023 Ryder Cup, Team America was seen waving their caps at European fans at the Marco Simone Golf Club. The incident happened after Patrick Cantlay and Wyndham Clark defeated the pair of Rory McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick on Saturday evening.

Team America waving their hats came as a response to the fans who were waving their hats when Cantlay was playing on the 10th hole in the final fourball match.

As per a few reports, Patrick Cantlay had refused to wear Team America's cap because of not being paid for playing in the Ryder Cup. Although there are no trustworthy sources that could confirm if the news is actually trustworthy or not, the news has already spread on social media like wildfire.

Meanwhile, NUCLR GOLF shared an image on X (formerly known as Twitter) in which a few American players could be seen waving their hats in order to mock the European crowd after their last pair won their match on Saturday evening.

The gesture was not taken well by fans on X. One of the fans commented,

"Bold from a team that are 5 down"

Despite winning three out of four fourball matches on Saturday in the ongoing 2023 Ryder Cup, Team America is still five points behind to the hosts, Team Europe. The current points table stands at 10.5 - 5.5.

There was a fan who pointed out that the European crowd was all on Patrick Cantlay the whole day, and they could not bear the same treatment themselves.

Meanwhile, another fan said that Team America's golfers are being crushed by the huge five points lead taken by Team Europe and they do not understand how the sport worked.

There were multiple fans who trolled Team America's gesture at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome. However, there were a few who did support their act at the ongoing 2023 Ryder Cup.

Below are some top comments from fans on X:
