Shane Lowry, a passionate golfer, took action against a disruptive spectator at the Ryder Cup, resulting in the individual being removed from the event. Lowry expressed his frustration with the heckler using strong language, prompting security to intervene.

Reports from Sky Sports highlighted the negative behavior of some home supporters towards European players like Rory McIlroy, with incidents of abusive comments directed at them during the competition.

Despite being known for their banter, Lowry and McIlroy reached a breaking point when faced with particularly offensive remarks, leading to Lowry requesting the removal of a fan from the premises.

Nick Faldo, a six-time Major champion, expressed outrage over the situation and called for Ryder Cup officials to address the issue promptly.

While European players have a significant following of supporters at the event, fans wearing red have been observed engaging in hostile behavior towards them, creating a tense atmosphere on the course.

Sky Sports correspondent Jamie Weir reported live on the incident involving Lowry and emphasized the challenges European players face in such a negative environment, contrasting it with the positive energy typically seen at European events.

McIlroy also encountered a disruptive fan earlier in the day, who shouted during his swing, prompting a heated response from the Northern Irishman. The player’s reaction was attributed to the disruptive timing of the fan’s chant.

The ongoing incidents have raised concerns about the behavior of some spectators at the Ryder Cup, with calls for better sportsmanship and respect towards all players on the course.
