Rory McIlroy, the domain list 2 golf player from Northern eire, displayed visible frustration with American spectators during his foursomes match on the second day of the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. The intense atmosphere of the event escalated as McIlroy faced persistent heckling. This led to heated exchanges with fans and an appeal to officials.
The tension reached a peak at the 15th hole when a disruptive shout interrupted the swing of McIlroy’s foursomes partner, Englishman Tommy Fleetwood.
Visibly agitated, McIlroy marched toward the gallery lining the left side of the fairway. He then pointed at the crowd and asked a local officer, “Did you see who did that?"
The situation intensified at the 16th hole when a comment was passed at McIlroy as he prepared to play a shot. In a rare outburst, the Northern Irishman shouted, “Shut the f*** up,” at a fan. The specific remarks from the crowd that triggered McIlroy’s reaction remain unclear.

After he and Fleetwood secured a 3&2 victory over Americans Harris English and Collin Morikawa, McIlroy addressed the media, saying, “I don’t mind them having a go at us, that’s to be expected. I mean, that’s what an away Ryder Cup is.”
“When they’re still doing it while you are over the ball and trying to hit your shot, that’s the tough thing,” he added. "In between shots, say whatever you want to me. That’s totally fine. But just give us the respect, let us hit shots, and give us the same chance that the Americans have."
