You might have noticed the U.S. Ryder Cup team's late rally fell just short. It should have come as no surprise, sadly, to some of the loudest USA fans. From Golf.com: Around the 14th green, American fans dressed in Minnesota Vikings uniforms were even able to get a throaty "USA! USA!" chant going for a minute or two before being drowned out by chants of "Eur-ope! Eur-ope!"

"I just felt the crowd wasn't involved enough because we weren't involving them enough," Montgomerie said. "Obviously the Americans were silencing the crowd through their good play and that's what happens and that's what we have done abroad a few times now on American soil.

"The more silenced the crowd are, the better it is for [the Americans] and that's what was happening in the first couple off sessions," Montgomerie said. "We had to try and get that crowd as our 13th man back on our side by good play. And I was just trying to inform them of that state, get up early and that's what we did. But I can repeat what I said."
