CHASKA, Minn. -- Some of the European Ryder Cup team members had fun with an American fan in the gallery Thursday, coaxing him to try a 12-foot putt, with Justin Rose even putting a $100 bill down on the green if he made it.
Sure enough, David Johnson from North Dakota, wearing jeans and a red shirt, rammed the ball in the back of the cup and celebrated as if he won the Ryder Cup himself, getting hugs from Rory McIlroy and Henrik Stenson.
"The boys were struggling with their lines and David was kind enough to come down and show us how to do it," said Stenson, tongue firmly in cheek.
