From a European player's brother talking smack about Americans to a United States star criticizing a former captain, there's been plenty of bluster already before the 2016 Ryder Cup at Hazeltine has even kicked into gear.

But with practice rounds ending and the opening ceremonies set for Thursday, it's time to get to what's really important: golf and the raucous crowd.

Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson took advantage of both and made a memorable moment on Thursday after overhearing a random American fan saying he could make a 12-foot putt that was just missed by Rory McIlroy.

The Europeans doubted it, so Rose put $100 right next to the ball and Stenson went and pulled the spectator -- David Johnson from North Dakota -- to cash the check his mouth was writing.

Guess what? Johnson drained that sucker. And he threw some #TourSauce on it, too, with a Tiger Woods fist pump. Dude even got love from Rose's caddie and the European golfers, including McIlroy.

Let's go!
