Team USA's Collin Morikawa has defended comments he made regarding fan behavior in the build-up to last month's Ryder Cup, stating his words were taken "a little out of context."

Morikawa was quoted in his pre-Ryder Cup press conference as saying he felt the crowd during practice days at Bethpage Black was "kind of tame" and he hoped "Friday is just absolute chaos."

The 28-year-old later went on to remark that he wanted fans to "go crazy" during tournament days so that Team USA could use the home crowd's energy to their advantage in trying to win back the Ryder Cup. You may like
