The American fans really are special aren't they. Probably made worse by the fact that their two favourite Tourette like shouts are "get in the hole" and my personal favourite "U S A, U S A".

Not a fan of MASH POTATOES then Dave?

I make Willet's brother dead right. I've met a lot of people from a lot of countries and the yanks are undoubtably my least favourite. Followed in second by the French

Sky need a red button feature where you can turn off the crowd noise but keep the commentators.

The opposite of what ITV needs for its football broadcasting then.

US fans getting progressively more drunk by the sounds of it though

Don't slate the US fans too much. Yes, many of them are tools, but as McIlroy showed, they seem to be firing up our guys more than theirs with their hostility - it seemed to help us in Medina in '12, will be help here too?

A fantastic comeback this afternoon after being 4-0 down. Th US team didn't play bad, but the Europeans played phenomenal in the afternoon.

Darren Clarke is going to cost Europe the Ryder Cup by selecting his mate Lee Westwood, he has had about 2 good tournaments all year and should not be in the team.

Even if we won Clarke has to be up there with Faldo as one of the worst ever captains. Poor wild card picks in kaymer and Westwood (Knox and Donald would have done so much more)

Then he compounds the mistake by keep picking his two mistakes rather than players like Fitzpatrick and Willet who earned their spot.

And what the hell was breaking up the two amigos partnership?!!!!

Can never be forgiven for selecting Westwood. The has been that never really was.

I agree his current form is not up to Ryder Cup standard, but "never really was"? He knocked Tiger Woods off the world number one spot in 2010 and held it for four months, and for another five weeks in 2011.

He does lack a Major, but to be world number one for a total of twenty two weeks isn't too shabby.
