Collin Morikawa urges home fans to turn up Ryder Cup volume: 'It's tame so far...'

Collin Morikawa admits the Ryder Cup atmosphere has proven "tame so far" but he hopes for "absolute chaos" when the match finally gets underway on Friday.

Morikawa, 28, has endured a wretched season by his own high standards on the PGA Tour, and particularly of late without a top-10 finish in his last six starts entering the Ryder Cup at Bethpage. 

The two-time major champion, who received one of six captain's picks by Keegan Bradley, has fallen from fourth to eighth in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) as a result of his recent performances on the PGA Tour

Some American fans and critics consider Morikawa was a tad fortunate to even make the team given his latest results. 

But Morikawa is out to prove a point and vindicate Bradley's decision to pick him this week. 

Morikawa is making his third straight Ryder Cup appearance for the United States, and he owns a steady 56% strike rate from eight matches at the Ryder Cup with a playing record of 4-3-1. 

But back to the top of the story and Morikawa is somewhat disappointed so far with the atmosphere out on the course at Bethpage Black - at least after the first two days of official practice on Tuesday and Wednesday. 

Morikawa is urging the home fans to turn the volume up, especially when the contest gets underway bright and early with the Friday foursomes.

Home-field advantage has proven particularly advantageous in recent times at the Ryder Cup, especially the last 13 years with Europe the last away side to lift the famous cup at Medinah in 2012. 

Donald Trump's arrival on Friday is certainly likely to fire up the crowd, although the US President is not scheduled to rock up at Bethpage Black until the afternoon fourballs.

Morikawa is hoping for "absolute chaos" from the home fans when the Ryder Cup starts on Friday. 

"I'll be honest, I think it's kind of tame so far, Tuesday and Wednesday," said Morikawa when asked about having the crowd on your side at a Ryder Cup.

"I know tomorrow is going to be pretty bad but I hope Friday is just absolute chaos. I'm all for it. I think it feeds into who we are and the American players and the American Team. We want it. Like we want to use that to our advantage.

"I think every sport uses their home crowd to their advantage, and just because we don't play in a setting like this doesn't mean the craziness of New York and the rest of the country that people are traveling in from, it doesn't mean that we can't use that to our advantage. I think we really have to tap into that. I hope they come strong.

"Watching all these kids, I know they want autographs, but come Friday, I hope they go crazy."

Tennis legend John McEnroe is certainly hopeful the home crowd brings the energy as the thinks the team will need it to beat Europe.

McEnroe was taking part in the all-star celebrity match on Wednesday morning, which USA won.
