Matt Fitzpatrick reacts to jeers from American fans during Ryder Cup warm-up

Fitzpatrick, even though he was seen laughing in the video, would not have been out of line if he had grown tired of the constant noise from fans.

Still, he is no stranger to lively crowds, having grown up around football culture in England.

He made it clear that he was not bothered by it and felt it was all just part of the fun leading up to such a big event.

“I mean, I’m from Sheffield, so that’s probably a good start. Yeah, I mean, it was good fun. I think for me, you know, you’ve got to buy into it.

“I was having a good laugh with those boys, and we were laughing about it. They were telling me, ‘Oh, you’re probably going to be here on Friday or whatever.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, you’re probably right, to be fair.’

“So yeah, we had a good laugh there, and they actually followed us for a couple more holes. So I think, you know, like you say, you’ve got to take it on the chin, whatever it is.

“Again, like I keep saying, it’s what makes this event so fun, so special, is the fans. The fans are what make this event, and you know, it’s obviously a great opportunity for us to come and try and play our best golf in front of them.”

Matt Fitzpatrick unfazed by Bethpage Black crowd ahead of Ryder Cup

When asked about the potential challenges of having an American wife at Bethpage Black, Fitzpatrick remained confident there would be no issues for either of them.

“Yeah, of course, there’s always been conversations about what could happen or what couldn’t happen. I think everyone is very well-versed on what that is.

“But again, we’ve had that conversation between me and her, and she said that it doesn’t matter. I’ll be out there, whatever, it really doesn’t matter. I’m not going to be affected at all.

“Everyone knows how it is, and like Keegan [Bradley] said in his speech, like Luke [Donald] said in his speech, I have no doubt everyone is going to be as respectful as they possibly can. I think that’s what makes it fun. That’s what makes it different.”
