Ryder Cup team should copy Djokovic when dealing with American hostility, says McIIroy

• Europe's players should learn from tennis star's reactions

• All we can do is control our reaction and our emotions'

Rory McIlroy believes Europe's Ryder Cup team should follow the grand slam record title-holder Novak Djokovic's example when it comes to dealing with American hostility in New York this month.

Djokovic, a keen golfer himself, delivered a pep talk to the team before their resounding victory in Rome two years ago, and last week McIlroy was pictured courtside watching the Serb at the US Open just hours after the Northern Irishman finished the Tour Championship in Atlanta.
