Bad weather has again disrupted the Ryder Cup, with the tournament being taken into a fourth day on Monday for the first time in its 83-year history.
There has been some criticism of the staging of the prestigious tournament in Wales in October.
There has been more criticism of the scheduling of the tournament which was moved into October from September to accommodate the climax of the US PGA Tour's Fedex Cup..
James Lawton, chief sports writer of The Independent told BBC 5 Live the Ryder Cup was a commodity and organisers had hoped to "get away with" holding it in October.
"Golf is hawking this jewel of an event to the biggest bidder, with an unsuitable course at the wrong time of year. Why? Because of golfing schedules. It's a disgrace really."
