Ryder Cup: Get in the hole; becomes a mouthful for Yanks

Hello American golf fan - you can't 'get in the hole' on a 600-yard par five. Eat this gobstopper would you?
Loud American golf fans who give Team Europe a mouthful at the Ryder Cup can expect the same in return as giant Betfair gobstoppers designed to silence the home crowd are handed out at the Medinah Country Club.
After years of unsporting behaviour from US golf fans on the fairways, where the widely-hated phrase 'Get In The Hole' was first coined, Betfair has taken steps to fill US gobs with sweets which last an entire round.
The move comes after US Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III warned Europe's players that they can expect a fiery reception and a hostile crowd in Chicago.
The over-sized treats last at least 250 minutes, far longer than the average round of golf at the Illinois course.
More than a thousand sweets will be handed out in a bid to quieten the crowd right up until the very last putt to help Team Europe retain the trophy.
Each gobstopper is 45mm in diameter (the average usually ranging from 10mm-30mm) and includes more than 15 layers of sugar tasting of blueberry, strawberry and vanilla.
Betfair's Alex Bake said: "The atmosphere is going to be intense and the US fans are going to be fired up for the Ryder Cup. More than ever the crowds are going to play an important part in deciding the outcome of this golfing battle. Europe are the underdogs but by handing out these sweets we hope to tip the playing field in their favour."
Brits who intend to stay up and watch the action can win a 'Get In The Hole' gobstopper by following @BetfairSports on Twitter. Fans can show their support by using the hashtag #GetInTheHole.
Europe are trading at 2.727/4 to retain the Ryder Cup, with the US available at 1.794/5.
