Ryder Cup charity mementos belonging to Europe captain Paul McGinley have been stolen from his car, along with his golf clubs.
The San Francisco Chronicle claimed the Irishman, who was playing in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, went from San Francisco airport to Ocean Beach to get some fresh air and have lunch.
The 48-year-old Irishman's custom-made golf clubs, travel documents and passport were also taken ahead of his appearance in this week's AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
"I was disappointed," McGinley told the San Francisco Chronicle . "All my stuff was taken.
"I had only been in the country an hour and a half. It can happen in any country, or city, in the world. I thought it was safe and it didn't cross my mind."
McGinley stood down as captain after Europe beat the United States in the Ryder Cup in Scotland in September and is on a five-man panel that is due to announce his successor in the next few weeks.
