After Brexit vote, Team Europe will keep same flag

Sorry, Americans, but Europe’s Ryder Cup team won’t be affected this year because of the Brexit, the historic referendum on Thursday in which Great Britain's citizens voted to leave the European Union.

Instead, it will be business as usual for this year’s matches at Hazeltine, according to ESPN.com’s UK-based website.

“In terms of the flag flown to represent the European Ryder Cup team, we consider that the blue and gold flag of Europe represents the continent of Europe and, as a broad symbol of Europe as a whole, we therefore plan to continue to use it,” a European Tour spokesperson told ESPN.
