Rory Mcilroy’s wife encountered the ‘stunning’ fans abuse, the euro players said

Pharmingdale, NY – Erica Mcilroy often holds a low profile in golf tours – sometimes choosing to avoid the course or, if she visits, often wears a hat. But in the Ryder Cup, this becomes complicated. Women and girlfriends take on a much bigger role in the procedure and often watch their husbands within the ropes, where everyone is looking for. And in the case of this Ryder cup, where everyone was screaming.

Unfortunately for Erica, Rory Mcilroy became the center of significant contempt from the main parts of the home crowd in Bethpage Blackmaking it a natural secondary subject often located not far away. On Saturday night, after the fourth Rory match of the Cup, a drink was also thrown into the air in its direction, skimming its straw hat and pouring some of the juices on it.

The involvement of her was poured on Sunday, too, as Rory still had one more match to play, against Scottie Scheffler, and the weekly abuse did not stop. This Cup Ryder seemed to bring about itFor months of the lead and then in the early morning calls by American fans. “F – K you Rory,” It became such a well -known phrase that an official event even resigned to her duties and apologized for joining her.

Rory continued in a largely successful way, winning three matches and connecting another. But it wasn’t until Sunday evening, after Europe had finally claimed the cupThat he was asked in the record of what he and Erica faced this week.

What was your view of that situation, He was asked, And the direction of this event as a whole with this in mind – families within the ropes?

“It has to be out of bounds,” replied Mcilroy, “but it was no doubt this week.

“Erica is fine. She’s a very, very strong woman. You know, she treated everything this week with class and readiness and dignity as she always. I love her and we will have a good time celebrating tonight.”

This came during the full press conference, with 13 men for Team Europe, during which Mcilroy received many questions. But before someone could go on, it was Justin Rose who felt forced to get inside.

“Can I just get it if you don’t mind,” Rose said, “because I really didn’t have the idea that Erica had a beer thrown yesterday, so to play right for Erica. She didn’t bring it to the team’s room. We didn’t do it a big job. This is the news for me. This is a lot of the strength of this team.”

Shane Lowry spoke next. He was the one who was paired with Mcilroy at the session preceded by the incident, as well as the Fourball session on Friday afternoon, when Europe was clear, and American fans would have no problem making them.

“I was there for two days with Erica Mcilroy,” Lowry began, “and the amount of abuse she received was stunning and the way she was there supporting her husband and supporting her team was incredible, and Kudos for that.”

It was really a moment worthy of reflection on the event, its fans, how it runs and police. Mcilroy became a number of questions at the press conference what abuse generally represented. It was clear that he had given him some thoughts after talking about the other half minute.

“Look, I don’t think we should ever accept it in golf. I think golf should be held to a higher standard than seen there this week. Golf has the ability to unite people. Golf teaches you very good life lessons. This teaches you the labeling. It teaches you how to play with the rules. This teaches you how to respect people.

“Sometimes this week we haven’t seen it. So, no, this should not be what is acceptable in Ryder Cup. But you know, we will make sure to say to our fans in Ireland in 2027 that what happened here this week is not acceptable, and for me, you know, come and support your team at home.

“I think if I were American, I would worry that people – I didn’t hear a lot of screams for Scottie today, but I heard a lot of shouts against me. Like, I supported your players. That’s the thing.

“Look, it was a rough week for all of us. But at the same time, we closed them out of our performance and how we played, and we tried to – I retired a few times because it came to me a few times, but we tried to handle everything coming into class with class and poet, and for the most part, I felt like us.”
