1st time I've seen him play without a hat. Is this some sort of protest?

There were several player w/o hats yesterday. Maybe sponsors don't require their brand displayed in non PGA Tour events?

Very few of the Euros wear hats in the Ryder Cup for whatever reason. Maybe it's some kind of code us Muricans don't understand.

We need a Ryder Cup team that has 8 Patrick Reeds.

I felt Rory was a little bit chippy yesterday and it's probably not a great marketing move. He's a well liked guy in the US and he was a Sergio-esque during play. The excessive shouting and having a little bit of an "in your face America" was not very becoming. If he is ever percieved as a villianous character, his brand could take a hit here.

There's a big difference between a well liked rival and being Sergio. It's a calculated risk he doesn't need to take IMO.

Someone got picked last in gym class^^^ It's the Ryder Cup. A little extra emotion and talk comes along with it. I say get after it, I applaud Rory and Reed's actions.

It's the exact reason they don't show enough emotion when they're playing for themselves. Because it looks like a "me" thing. But this is a team thing, so you can be pumped for your team when you do well.

He didn't have fans kicked out. If you act that way, be prepared to deal with insults. Just like Reed did 2 years ago. Grow up Rory, you've lost a former fan in FL you little baby.

In an interview earlier McIlroy said that the Americans get the same heckling from Euro fans that the Euro players are getting from the American fans. It's pretty universal. I don't think McIlroy did anything different than any American player would have done if the situation took place in Europe. I think he had every right to be chippy about it and it was handled as it should have been (and I'm rooting for the American team).

If you want to play on the big stage, you can't have rabbit ears no matter where you play.
