The United States has refused to comment on reports that Patrick Cantlay is not wearing a cap in protest at players not being paid to play in the Ryder Cup – other than to point out that he did not do so at the last tournament either.
According to Air sportsThe Californian is in a separate area of the visitors’ locker room with close friend Xander Schauffele amid a rift in the camp, and declined to appear at the gala dinner last week.
Cantlay is the only player on the court not wearing a cap under a blue sky and a blazing sun.
This detail adds to what has been a disastrous start for the Americans, who trailed 9.5-2.5 after the foursomes on Saturday morning.
A spokesperson for the US team said simply: “He was not wearing a cap at Whistling Straits.”
