(Reuters) -PGA of America chief executive Derek Sprague said on Thursday he will apologise directly to Rory McIlroy and the rest of Europe’s Ryder Cup team and their families for the abusive behaviour they suffered from some spectators during last week's contest.
The apology follows Europe's 15-13 victory over the United States at Bethpage Black, where their players were subjected to taunts and personal abuse by fans, who also refused to stay quiet while players were taking their shots.
