“They have come into a hostile environment and played great golf. You know, sometimes as a competitor, as an athlete, you have to take a step back and again sort of tip your cap to something like that. They have been a tough team. They have partnered great. And Luke is an incredible captain. He's done a great job this week. I didn't see -- I mean, I thought the fans were passionate. I mean, their home team is getting beat bad. You know, they are passionate fans.

“You're always going to have a few people that cross the line, and that's unfortunate. I was happy to see our players trying to quiet down some people that were like that. Part of it our fault. We are not playing up to the standards that they want to see, and they are angry, and they should be.”

Keegan Bradley also shared his thoughts about the Bethpage Black terrain in the news conference. He said that the greens were soft and had the perfect shape to play in. He added that the greens at Bethpage weren't this soft in the past.
