The U.S. has the home-field advantage this week at Whistling Straits and thus will enjoy a significant boost from the fans.
The 43rd Ryder Cup, had it been played a year ago, would have been contested without any fans at all, so having spectators on the grounds will be greatly welcomed. After all, it’s not really a Ryder Cup without the fans, right?
You can be sure there will be a solid representation of the red, white and blue at the Straits Course. But keep an eye out for fans of the defending champion Euro squad.
Check out photos of fans this week.
