Morikawa Urges Fans To 'Bring the Chaos' at Bethpage

Collin Morikawa said crowds at Bethpage Black during the first two public practice days have been “kind of tame” and urged American fans to “bring the chaos” when the Ryder Cup begins Friday, saying a loud home crowd will feed Team USA. He praised vice‑captains for nudging players in practice and singled out teammates such as Cam Young as likely to tap into New York’s fiery support. Fans so far have clustered around holes 15–18, with only occasional boos and some “U‑S‑A” chants during European appearances. Rain could limit Thursday’s activity, but organizers expect roughly 50,000 spectators Friday through Sunday, including high‑profile attendees. Players and media expect a rowdier atmosphere once competition starts and say an intense home crowd can elevate performance in the Ryder Cup’s team format.
