Under fire PGA of America president Don Rea says he is "not bothered" by criticizm he's attracted following his comments on the crowd and his demeanour during the trophy presentation at the Ryder Cup.

Rea gave a rather controversial interview to the BBC on that infamous Saturday at Bethpage Black, playing down the crowd abuse Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry received.

Along with comparing the New York crowd to the European fans in Rome , Rea also received some push back from members of Luke Donald's side for how he handled the presentation ceremony. You may like
