Billy Horschel has taken to social media to hit out at what he deems false claims that 'faster greens are an advantage to Americans'.
Horschel, 38, headed over to X / Twitter to voice frustration at comments made by Golf Channel in the build up to the Ryder Cup at Bethpage, which gets underway on Friday.
While the American is eager to see his nation regain the Ryder Cup in New York this Sunday, he's certainly had enough of an old adage that he believes no longer rings true.
"Been watching the coverage of the Ryder Cup the last couple days and the old adage of faster green speeds is an advantage for the Americans does my head in," wrote Horschel.
"Yes, back 20+ years ago it was but now a days with majority of European players in America and many more tournaments on DP World Tour playing at better courses with faster greens, that old adage doesn't hold any water anymore.
"Can't wait to watch this week though. As I've said, this could possibly be the best Ryder Cup in the history to date."
The green speeds at Bethpage on average are reportedly running to 13 on the stimpmeter, and potentially up to 14 on some holes.
Quick greens are deemed anything over 12 on the stimp, which is the official measurement for green speeds.
A stimpmeter is a three-foot aluminum bar with a V-shaped groove that contains a ball-release notch.
To use it, a golf ball is placed in the notch, the bar is slowly lifted until the ball rolls out, and the distance the ball travels is measured in feet.
