Garcia and Sunesson repeated time after time the word 'team' when describing the role of a spouse and caddie in a week like no other. In 2018, debutant Tommy Fleetwood - and his famous long hair - crowd surfed like a rockstar. You might not recognize McIlroy, who often plays without a cap. And in a sport that focuses on individuality, it's a novel break from the sponsors and the dollar bills. The roars, the fist pumps, the enormous grandstands and the swelling crowds encircling each green make the Ryder Cup such a unique event. Perhaps the finest example of this - even if Faldo in the commentary booth didn't quite approve - is Bubba Watson and Ian Poulter teeing off at the 2012 Ryder Cup in Chicago with the crowds cheering at full volume, both players asking for it and welcoming the wall of noise.

'So I said to the guys I want to see American fans being better than that, and they said ok, then later on they saw me, they'd figured out who I was, and they came over and gave me a hug and apologized. 'I said to them: 'I'm here supporting the European team, I'm an American, and you're embarrassing me.' The people around us joined in and said: 'Yeah, you're embarrassing us too!' 'I understand cheering for your team but let's leave the insults out,' she told CNN the day after her husband, the Ryder Cup's highest points scorer with 25½, was given a wildcard to represent Europe for a 10th time. The atmosphere was teetering on going from boisterous to distasteful for Spanish pair Sergio Garcia and Rafa Cabrera-Bello were it not for Garcia's then girlfriend Angela, who politely asked hecklers to stop yelling 'horrible things' to the away team and their spouses at Hazeltine in 2016.
