It was Hatton\u2019s half point with Collin Morikawa<\/a> which secured outright victory in New York<\/a> after Shane Lowry\u2019s putt at the 18th had earlier made sure the trophy would be going back on the plane <\/a>as Europe held off a rousing comeback from the USA.<\/p>\n Englishman Hatton will return to action for the defence of his Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland this weekend.<\/p>\n The 33-year-old is looking forward to a few home comforts over Carnoustie, Kingsbarns and the Old Course at St Andrews, which will host Sunday\u2019s final round.<\/p>\n Hatton feels the atmosphere \u201cwill be world\u2019s apart\u201d from what as a \u201cpretty intense\u201d week in the United States at Bethpage, where Luke Donald\u2019s team \u2013 and Rory McIlroy<\/a> in particular \u2013 found themselves on the end of some rather unsavoury abuse from a partisan crowd.<\/p>\n Asked if he thought Europe fans would now look to return the favour when the Americans head to County Limerick, Ireland, Hatton said at a press conference: \u201cI don\u2019t really think that the insults is the way forward.<\/p>\n \u201cI would much prefer it to be a respectful atmosphere \u2013 you let the guys play and the best team wins, rather than trying to affect the outcome by trying to put off players. But I don\u2019t think it will be as hostile (in 2027) as maybe as it was last week. I would like to think that it will be very respectful.\u201d<\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n United States captain Keegan Bradley felt the American fans did not overstep the mark in New York (Mike Egerton\/PA)<\/p>\n The Americans had gone into the final session 12-5 down before mounting a stirring comeback in the singles, but came up short.<\/p>\n USA captain Keegan Bradley<\/a> refused to condemn the \u201cpassionate\u201d home fans at Bethpage \u2013 and said he had heard \u201ca lot of stories that Rome was pretty violent as well\u201d when Europe won on home soil two years ago.<\/p>\n \u201cPersonally, I don\u2019t think they were close at all. With what I heard last week, I don\u2019t think Rome comes anywhere near that,\u201d Hatton said. \u201cTo be honest, personally, I don\u2019t agree with what they said there. I don\u2019t know what else to add to that. I think they (Rome and Bethpage) are quite far apart to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n Fellow members of the victorious Europe team Tommy Fleetwood<\/a>, Matt Fitzpatrick<\/a>, another former event winner, and Scotland\u2019s Robert MacIntyre<\/a> \u2013 hoping for plenty of local support \u2013 will also be in action this weekend.<\/p>\n![\"United](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/21b0629e1c9848dd703dfe599ac90169Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzU5NDA2Mjg4-2.81795895.jpg\")
