There is no animosity, says Love

Davis Love today insisted there was no lingering ill-feeling between the opposing Ryder Cup teams after the controversial scenes in the last contest at Brookline.

Members of the European team, and Colin Montgomerie in particular, were the victims of sustained heckling three years ago, and Justin Leonard’s crucial birdie putt on the 17th in his match against Jose Maria Olazabal provoked much-criticised celebrations by the American team before Olazabal had a chance to putt.
