An angry man wearing a bucket hat coloured in European blue and yellow waved a bank note at Patrick Cantlay as he walked to the eighth green on Sunday. ‘Here you go, Patrick,’ he yelled as the American and his caddie, Joe LaCava, walked past. ‘I’ll give you a few dollars, mate, if you need it that badly.’Cantlay smiled and carried on as best he could. Hundreds of people in the stand were on their feet, waving their caps at him because a television reporter had suggested on /X that Cantlay had refused to wear his hat this week to protest against the fact that players are not paid to play in the , a suggestion Cantlay insisted was false.‘Hats off for your bank account,’ they sang. Another group of European fans broke into a chorus of ’s Money, Money, Money. Others sang the lyrics from ’s Price Tag. And when Cantlay, world No 5, smote his drive down the ninth fairway, another comedian in the gallery yelled: ‘That’s the money-shot, Patrick.’
