Collin Morikawa Wants ‘Absolute Chaos’ with Bethpage Black Ryder Cup Crowds on Day 1

Collin Morikawa believes the U.S. Ryder Cup team will benefit from home field advantage if attendees at Bethpage Black bring more energy while watching the tournament this weekend.

“I’ll be honest, I think it’s kind of tame so far, Tuesday and Wednesday,” Morikawa said at the 28:15 mark of Wednesday’s pre-tournament press conference. “I know tomorrow is going to be pretty bad, but I hope Friday is just absolute chaos. I’m all for it.”

Morikawa continued, “I think it feeds into who we are, and the American players, and the American team. We want it. We want to use that to our advantage. I think every sport uses their home crowd to their advantage, and just because we don’t play in a setting like this… doesn’t mean we can’t use that to our advantage. I think we really have to tap into that.”

The 49th Ryder Cup is set to start Friday in Farmingdale, New York.
