Say cheese: Europeans court Packers fans at Ryder Cup

Kohler, Wisconsin – If you want to get on the right side of Wisconsin locals you can do two things — dress like you are a Green Bay Packers fan and wear a giant slice of foam cheese on your head.

The European Ryder Cup team did both on Wednesday as they launched a charm offensive at Whistling Straits before facing the hostile U.S. home crowd when the biennial event begins Friday.

Wearing green-and-yellow striped outfits, the 12-man European squad looked like they were getting ready to run out onto Lambeau Field, home of the NFL’s Green Bay Packers, as they practiced on the links style layout.
