Ryder Cup 2025: Misbehaving fans at US v Europe contest in New York to be ejected

Europe skipper Luke Donald, who is looking to become the first captain to win an away match since Jose Maria Olazabal presided over the ‘Miracle at Medinah’ in 2012, is supportive of anything that allows a team to “win in the right way”.

“We’ve all seen Ryder Cups where it has crossed the line,” the Englishman told BBC Sport.

“It’s the responsiblty of the PGA of America to have protocols and a plan in place.

“We like to do things the right way, win fairly and squarely. We want the best team to win in a passionate and spirited high energy environment.”

And Bradley conceded that the passion of the home fans could go against his side if Europe get off to a fast start.

“This is a tough place for us to play,” he said. “These New York fans are going to expect us to win and they will let their home team know if they are upset.

“It’s not a concern but something you’re definitely aware of. If you go watch [basketball’s New York] Knicks or [American football’s New York] Giants play they’re not interested in not winning.

“This is going to be an atmosphere unlike anything you’ve ever seen and it’s going to be fun for both sides.

“The New York fans are going to be super-passionate and cheering on us on extremely hard.”
