A three-storey temporary stand, put up for the biennial Europe-USA match, went up in flames, fire chiefs say, but there are no reports of injuries and the cause of the fire is still unclear.
Firefighters in Italy have been brought under control a fire in the grandstand of the golf club that hosted the Ryder Cup last weekend. The large fire began near the 18th green and first fairway at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome, at around 5pm on Thursday, Sky Italy said. Huge pillars of smoke could be seen rising from the site, in the city's northeastern suburb of Guidonia. The three-storey stand was engulfed in flames, the city's fire services said.
A spokesperson for Ryder Cup Europe said: 'A fire was reported in one of the temporary hospitality structures to the right of the first fairway at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club earlier this afternoon. 'Local fire crews were called to the scene at 17.07pm local time and quickly brought the blaze under control. 'Nobody was injured in the incident and the fire did not spread beyond the hospitality structure. There was no damage to the golf course or any other structure.
