In a tense atmosphere at the Ryder Cup, Rory McIlroy faced hostile crowd taunts during a crucial match against American opponents. His verbal retort, captured live on a TV microphone, turned heads but didn't detract from his focus on the game.
Following his striking outburst, McIlroy executed a pivotal approach shot that helped his European team secure a 3-and-2 victory over Collin Morikawa and Harris English. This victory marked the second win for McIlroy and teammate Tommy Fleetwood's pairing, ironically dubbed "Fleetwood Mac."
McIlroy emphasized in a radio interview that while he tolerates some fan engagement, certain taunts cross a line of respect. Nevertheless, Europe's lead grew to 7 1/2-3 1/2, promising a strong position for upcoming matches.
