A RYDER Cup cop has been slammed over his reaction to a Team Europe putt.
The dust may have settled at Bethpage Black, but some fans are still animated about the weekend's play.
Team USA fell to a first defeat on home soil since 2012 despite a valiant final day effort that saw them close to the ap, only to lose 15-13.
However, it appears not every American was disheartened by the Team Europe victory.
One day, two of the c,u p a cop was spotted cheering on the European side.
After Viktor Hovland sank his first putt of the Saturday foursome session, a police officer standing next to the green began applauding.
He watched intently as the Norwegian produced a great shot to go one up, and even fist pumped once he saw the ball drop.
Hovland and his partner Bob McIntyre went on to secure a point for Team Europe as they defeated Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley.
Several fans were disappointed with the cop's reaction.
One reader says, ng: "This cop's reaction to Viktor Hovland sinking this putt is a fireable offense."
And another commented: "Jail."
A rowdy Ryder Cup saw a number of Team Europe players on the receiving end of jibes and abuse, including Rory McIlroy.
Hovland's partner, McIntyre, even shared a compilation of some of the taunts he received out on the green.
The Scot was the target of abuse from American trash talkers throughout the weekend.
One American fan was heard shouting "you bloody w***er" - a swearword not in common usage on this side of the Atlantic.
