But the exchange marked the tone of the day. Mcilroy lost his calm towards the end of his morning victory in Foursomes with Lowry, swearing from US fans for a heated moment in the 16th street.
With some members of the crowd fed by the drink throughout the day, things were heated more in the four afternoon balls.
The atmosphere boasted about the few opening holes before becoming a Tinderbox in the spotted green.
Mcilroy backed away a putt for an eagle three after a cry interrupted his concentration. His effort was lost, but Lowry wrinkled his chance, and then exploded with a passionate and pointed celebration towards the offender.
When Lowry stayed with another putt for a Birdie in the fifth, he left RIP with another vocal celebration. Only his father Brendan, looking from the side, shouted louder.
Things went on again in the sixth green when Mcilroy backed up another putt. “Can’t you take it, Rory? ‘” Bawwled a New Yorker.
A crowd in a city known for its shameless and hard sports fans clearly felt that all this was a fair game.
At this stage, the exasperated European couple, as well as the Vice -Capitán Eduardo Molinari, pointed out the criminals to the police officers, who had visibly moved more strongly in an attempt to calm the mood.
The American opponents of Justin Thomas and Cameron Young appealed significantly to calm, but also fueled emotions with wild celebrations when the seven and nine holes won to leave a tense game again.
The messages warn fans of a zero tolerance approach for abusive cries that appeared on huge screens throughout the course, saying that “they would continue to closely monitor the behavior of fans and take appropriate measures.”
Shortly after Lowry threw himself into the fans of the tenth Tee, one of these reminders was booed by American fans around the 11th Green.
The PGA of America, which organized the Ryder Cup, had already reinforced security in the four games at this point and the view of police officers who followed the players was a clear warning sign of the threat they faced.
