On a Ryder Cup Saturday that featured so many indelible moments — Sam Burns cocking a hand to his mullet-wrapped ear, daring the crowd to boo him; Max Homa pointing out exactly which specific members of the Marco Simone audience needed to shut up; Tommy Fleetwood turning away from a magnificent chip-in with the serene confidence only the baddest of badasses can pull off — the most memorable was the simple waving of a hat on the 18th green as the sun descended and the day ended.
What resulted from that was a chaotic few minutes that included a miraculous session-ending putt, a defiant in-your-face American taunt despite Europe's commanding 10 1/2 to 5 1/2 lead, and the sport’s best-known active player having to get shoved into a courtesy car … all in the course of what should be a friendly team event.
