Ryder Cup week was definitely memorable, from the Arnold Palmer tributes to the stellar match-ups to Team USAs first win since 2008.There were also some emotional moments, from unruly fans targeting Team Europe stars from behind the ropes, to U.S. vice captain Bubba Watsons tearful celebration.Here are some of the top moments from the event at Hazeltine National Golf Club:Faces in the crowdWhether they were supporting Team USA or Team Europe, fans came to Hazeltine in droves for the Ryder Cup. An average of 50,000 spectators lined the course each day.Honoring The KingGolf legend Arnold Palmer, who passed away on Sept. 25, was on the minds of competitors and fans alike at Hazeltine. Before the first tee on Friday, fans chanted Ar-nold Pal-mer! Ar-nold Pal-mer! as his golf bag from the 1975 Ryder Cup was placed nearby.The futureTeam USAs Jordan Spieth, left, and Patrick Reed celebrate their Friday foursome victory against Europes Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson. The Americans built a 4-0 lead after that days morning session.Welcome to the showAfter rolling in a 20-foot eagle putt on No. 16 to finish off Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar, Rory McIlroy turned to the partisan American crowd and bowed, twice, then screamed, Cmon! as he punched the chilly Minnesota air with his fist. It was an emphatic finish to an impressive afternoon rally for the Europeans at the Ryder Cup. McIlroy and Thomas Pieters beat Johnson and Kuchar 3 and 2 to close the afternoon session. The Europeans won three of the four matches in the afternoon after losing all four of the morning matches.Talking strategyUnited States vice-captain Tiger Woods and team captain Davis Love III talk during Fridays morning foursome matches. According to Love, Woods was an invaluable member of the team.Hes been amazingly involved, Love said of Woods before play began. Hes been very thoughtful in the way that hes handled the Tiger Woods factor of being an influence, but also being a distraction. His openness of helping us with strategy, getting into how he prepares; that hell pick up the phone and call Phil Mickelson and work on things ... But his role has been more on strategy and helping us think out pairings and think out a game plan for actually playing the matches and playing the golf course.The Tiger influenceFor anyone who might think Tigers vice-captain appointment was ceremonial, think again. The players said they valued his input and attention to detail. I am so happy to see how well-thought-through he has been, said Mickelson. I cant believe our conversations, how detail-oriented he has been. The players, the pairings, the possibilities. Not just what match you will play, but where on the list. He has got us a good, solid game plan that is easy to buy into and get behind. Im very impressed.Captain AmericaOne of the biggest revelations at the Ryder Cup was the play of Patrick Reed. He went 3-1-1 overall at Hazeltine in his second Ryder Cup appearance.How did that not go in?Jordan Spieth reacted in shock after his birdie putt on the 17th hole during the Day 2s morning matches seemed to go over half the hole, but not in the cup.Crossing the lineRory McIlroy singled out a fan while he walked to the 12th tee Saturday after the spectator yelled out a crude comment to the star golfer. The fan was later ejected for their behavior. Fans attending the Ryder Cup couldnt resist heckling McIlroy throughout the tournament, and while some of it was playful, it grew increasingly nasty as Saturday afternoon four-ball was contested.Its a tough environment for us to come and play in, McIlroy said after Saturdays play. We expect that. Its the same for the U.S. guys when they come to play in Europe. You have to keep your concentration out there. Its been a long day, and sometimes emotions run high. It fueled me a lot. The more they shouted, the better we played. I hope they shout at us all day tomorrow.Actions speak louder ... ?McIlroy had a solid week despite the fan environment. He went 1-1-0 in foursomes, 2-0-0 in four-ball, 0-1-0 in singles and 3-2-0 overall.A new celebration dance?Kuchar, right, celebrates with Mickelson after sinking a long putt on the 13th hole, resulting in a, um, unique celebration shimmy dance. The pair later delivered a four-ball victory over Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer.A new celebration dance, Part II?Mickelson channeled his inner Masters, circa 2004, leaping after sinking an 18-foot birdie putt on the 18th green Sunday. Lefty later mocked his own celebration. I just kind of dropped down to my knees and when it went in, just that excitement propelled me up. Usually, I need a little assistance.Classic showdownMickelson and Garcias Sunday singles match was arguably the best of the day, and it seemed somewhat fitting that the match ended in a tie, giving half a point to each team.The last hurrahRyan Moore, the last player named to the U.S. Ryder Cup team, fittingly sealed the victory for the Americans after finishing eagle-birdie-par for a 1-up victory against?Lee Westwood. The United States beat Europe 17-11.Let the party beginMickelson was one of many U.S. players to celebrate with fans after the United States locked up its first victory since 2008 and only the third in the past two decades.All about the teamU.S. vice-captains Woods and Watson share a cheerful moment during Sundays closing ceremony. Watson was emotional after the Americans clinched the victory, saying serving as vice-captain was the greatest thing I have ever done in golf.The two-time Masters champion just missed out on qualifying, then was passed over by captain Davis Love III despite being ranked No. 7 in the world. But he still pleaded to come to Hazeltine as an assistant, Love obliged, and all were glad he came following the win.Start of things to come?The U.S. players said they couldnt have imagined any other person serving as captain than Love III. Now, many believe the U.S. have the right foundation to challenge for more Ryder Cup crowns in the future. Next up: Le Golf National in France in 2018. Chargers Jerseys From China .
