Rory McIlroy got upset when he helped Europe earn another important point on the last day of the Ryder Cup.
Spain was getting closer to winning the cup again, and the Northern Irishman beat Sam Burns 3&1. His win was even better after what happened on Saturday night.
McIlroy didn’t like how Patrick Cantlay’s caddie, Joe LaCava, wouldn’t move out of the way while he waved his cap over his head to celebrate Cantlay’s birdie on the last hole of Saturday’s fourball.
Fitzpatrick and McIlroy both had chances to make birdies that would have tied the hole and the match, but neither was able to make it.
Later, a picture showed McIlroy yelling at LaCava as Shane Lowry helped him get into a service car.
McIlroy told Sky Sports, “I needed that to fuel me today and not let it take away from what has been a great week,” when asked about the controversy he was in after beating Burns.
“I think I used it to my advantage and came out with more focus and determination. It also gave the whole team a little extra fire in our bellies.
It was only my goal to score another point for Europe.
“Ever since Whistling Straits, I was so upset with how I played there, so getting four points for the team here means a lot to me.”
“It’s a great comeback after Whistling Straits.” The people on our team are great. I think this young team will last a long time. But I need to follow them and get them in the house. It’s been a great week for me.
