Lee Westwood has criticised opponent Boo Weekley for the way he whipped up the crowd into a frenzy as America took a 5 1/2-2 1/2 first day lead at the Ryder Cup in Kentucky.
"You walk a fine line when you start doing that sort of thing," said Westwood, whose two halved matches enabled him to tie Arnold Palmer's record 12-game unbeaten run in cup history.
"I don't mind the arm-waving, but at least wait until you are walking off greens, not when it comes between shots.
"It was interrupting the flow of play and it was slow enough as it was. I didn't say anything to him - it's not my job to tell to the people how to behave - but it gave me a more burning desire to win some holes."
Westwood won the last two holes with Sergio Garcia for a foursomes half against Jim Furyk and Kenny Perry, then he and Soren Hansen took the last to avoid defeat against Weekley and JB Holmes.
Ian Poulter, who with Justin Rose in the afternoon fourballs defeated Ben Curtis and Steve Stricker for Europe's only victory of the day, was asked whether he had witnessed anything similar to Westwood.
"It was close to the mark - I think everybody can see it was a little close to the mark at times."
