Patrick Cantlay’s decision to play without a hat at the Ryder Cup has sparked quite the buzz. When asked why he opted out of wearing a cap, Cantlay simply stated, “The hat doesn’t fit.” This isn’t the first time he’s faced this issue; it was the same story at Whistling Straits.
Fans at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club took notice, chanting “Hats off” and giving standing ovations as Cantlay approached the tee boxes and greens.
The gesture became a rallying cry, culminating in Team USA members waving their hats to European fans after Cantlay and Wyndham Clark’s victory over Rory McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick.
