    It’s just US Americans showing their true colours. It’s what they always wanted to be and do but felt unable to. It was similar in Germany back in the day.

      Sort of. Golf fans here have mostly been drunken racist bastards since anyone can remember. They’ve also had some thoughtful people who just love the game mixed in but after Tiger Woods it started to tilt a lot more to the former, ironically.

      The people who run the tournament are doubtless of the former category as well, so nothing was done about it.

    My my my what’s wrong with the Yankees these days? I’m guessing they are mostly mad at themselves and a tiny bit jealous of the RoW.
