\u201cWhat he says I don\u2019t think layers into his golf game, and that\u2019s an amazing talent. He always plays incredibly freely, and I think that\u2019s probably the line where Rory can tiptoe better than most.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sweden\u2019s Ludvig Aberg knows fans in New York will be doing their best to unsettle his team.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s always going to be a little bit of chirping going on,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019re going to be hearing a lot of things, which is a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Being partnered with McIlroy, however, is not something European players will shy away from because of heckling, England\u2019s Tommy Fleetwood said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhoever gets to play with Rory this week, what a privilege. What an amazing thing to be able to do,\u201d he said. \u201cIf I\u2019m one of them that gets a chance to play with him, I would love that opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Having families face such issues, however, is another matter.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat energy, that passion and that home team environment is something that plays such a big part in the Ryder Cup, and you have to embrace that,\u201d Fleetwood said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve all discussed as a team who feels comfortable, how the family would feel comfortable, what they want to do. It\u2019s just do they want to be out there and support.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sometimes family members avoid watching their own relatives.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe families aren\u2019t just here for you. We\u2019re all part of Team Europe, and whatever that involves and whoever that involves supporting out there, that could be very different,\u201d Fleetwood said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s something we\u2019ve all discussed, and it\u2019s one of those things. It\u2019ll be very fluid throughout the week. I\u2019m sure it\u2019s all going to be great.\u201d<\/p>\n
World No 5 Justin Thomas, a US two-time major winner, has said family insults are where hecklers must draw the line.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou definitely hear some stuff. It\u2019s tough,\u201d Thomas said. \u201cA Ryder Cup, you kind of know what you\u2019re going to get.<\/p>\n
\u201c[Where] I think all the players are in the same boat is once it ever gets to a point of being a little bit more personal of families, family members.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we\u2019re not playing well and you\u2019re talking trash about us, we probably deserve it, but if you start getting into the loved ones, that\u2019s I think when everybody starts really getting a little bit chippy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s obviously never in any sport a time to get personal or disrespectful, but at the same time it\u2019s the Ryder Cup, and it\u2019s a home game for a reason. There has been plenty of good, plenty of bad on both ends, and you hope to give them reason to cheer for the good.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cWhat he says I don\u2019t think layers into his golf game, and that\u2019s an amazing talent.
