\u201cI thought the Ryder Cup was disgusting,\u201d Harmon said. \u201cIt was embarrassing being an American. I love the Ryder Cup, it\u2019s my favourite one to broadcast and being from New York, I had planned to work with the Sky [Sports] team. But I decided to pull out for that main reason. I felt we would spend more time talking about what\u2019s going on in the gallery with the fans being unruly than we would the golf and I just didn\u2019t feel I wanted to be part of it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the beauty of Augusta. These are the best behaved patrons in all of golf. I love the Open Championship because all the gallery people understand golf and they understand how to cheer. But this place, it\u2019s like a holy grail of golf in the US, and it\u2019s difficult to get a ticket to come. It\u2019s probably the hardest event to get a ticket to.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe patrons there are very well behaved, because they\u2019re the same people that come back year after year. I hated the way things were going at the Ryder Cup. I thought it was a terrible embarrassment for the United States, and let\u2019s hope it never happens again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI thought the Ryder Cup was disgusting,\u201d Harmon said. \u201cIt was embarrassing being an American.
