Waterproofgate: US team spring a leak • American Ryder Cup players weighed down by wet clothes• US officials have to go to merchandise tent for replacements• In pictures: The highs and lows of Ryder Cup outfitsThe brutal weather has claimed the first casualty of 2010 Ryder Cup: the US team's waterproofs. Officials from the PGA of America had to be dispatched to the merchandise tent at Celtic Manor to buy some new suits."They absorb too much water, which means they are too heavy. The American caddies have been complaining about them all week and so have the players," said one source inside the European camp.Ian Poulter looked delighted at seeing the Americans re-emerge in different rain gear. "I can see them on right now.
