A club emerged on social media of the Master of Ceremonies urging the home fans to direct a foul-mouth chant at the European star

The Ryder Cup MC who caused a storm after leading Team USA fans in vulgar chants against Rory McIlroy has quit her tournament hosting role - and reportedly apologised to the Team Europe superstar.

The American actress and comedian was urging the raucous New York crowd to direct foul-mouthed chants towards the Northern Irishman and he endured relentless abuse at Bethpage Black while partnering Shane Lowry.

Organisers stepped in to address the hostile reception the 36-year-old faced, with messages on the big screens reminding spectators of proper conduct as police moved to eject troublesome supporters.

McMahan, though, fuelled the unruly atmosphere before the morning foursomes began, actively encouraging inappropriate behaviour. At the first tee, she was seen bellowing "F*** you Rory!" through a megaphone as those in the grandstands joined in.
