'PGA of America president apologizes, condemns U.S. fans' behavior'

"PGA of America president Don Rea Jr., who initially compared vitriolic comments at the Ryder Cup to what could be heard at a youth soccer game, apologized Thursday in an email to the 30,000-plus golf professionals he was elected to serve."

"The PGA of America has been reeling from its lack of response to the unruly behavior, which began at Bethpage Black as early as Friday morning when a small section of fans chanted, 'F--- you, Rory,' upon seeing McIlroy's image on a video screen from the practice range."

"It only got worse, with vulgar language directed at European players, video of a beer being slapped out of someone's hand toward McIlroy's wife, and a comedian hired to lead cheers on the first tee getting involved in the expletive-laden chant toward McIlroy."
