Ryder Cup: Stephen Gallacher says tournament needs fans for intensity

Stephen Gallacher was part of Paul McGinley's successful Ryder Cup team 2014
Playing the Ryder Cup without fans may miss the "thrills and butterflies" that make the tournament so special, says Stephen Gallacher.
The Scot, 45, was part of Europe's winning team at Gleneagles in 2014 and hopes the event in Wisconsin will continue in September this year.
Golf gradually returns behind closed doors as coronavirus locking measures are relaxed around the world.
"The fans bring the intensity," Gallacher told BBC Scotland.
"The fans give you the pressure and the pressure sometimes brings up wonderful moments in the sport.
" If you had no fans there, I don't know if you have the same excitement and the same butterflies would be like if you have an amphitheater there with 20,000 or 30,000 people at one hole.
"That makes a difference, it's feelings you've never had before and that's what the Ryder Cup is all about. That's why it's magical."

Medical head of the European Tour golf, Dr. Andrew Murray
In professional golf we can distance ourselves socially, we can ensure that everyone is screened every day and we can test .
It is very likely that we will have positive tests. We see them in football, we see them in rugby, we see them in other sports because one in 400 of the British population has Covid.
It will be appropriate to have spectators in time, but not now. We can imagine this happening in the fall.
