It was the blockbuster report which caused a Ryder Cup explosion and now Patrick Cantlay is feeling the after-effects.

Sky Sports claimed on Saturday morning Team USA were split and their report stated the American star was skipping the official tournament hat due to his grievance over not being paid for his work in Rome. And the claim has travelled throughout the Marco Simone Golf Club as those backing blue riffed on America's pain.

Punters were captured taking their caps off and waving them in the air – a direct dig over suggestions Cantlay forego the headwear to make a point over money. Team USA refused to report on the claims, however, that never spared the World No.5 from epic trolling from the European punters in the stands.
