In front of the gallery Live abuse of Rory Mcilroy He became one of the most unfortunate scenes for the 2025 Ryder Cup stories, Mcilroy made his own titles when he called his opponent in the US, Bryson Dechambeau.
“I think the only way he attracts attention is mentioning other people,” Mcilroy told Guardian. “This is basically what I think about it. To attract attention he will mention me or scottie (Scheffler) or others.”
Mcilroy’s comments came from an interview that took place at the tournament in August, but were first published in the days before the Ryder Cup began.

At the site in Bethpage, Dechambeau accepted his rivalry with Mcilroy but said his comments were made in sports fun.
“At that time Rory says and what is not given, I have not thought of anything except I am excited. I hope we can have a good banter back and forth, and if not, if he wants to do what he is doing, excellent, without problem,” Dechambeau Lewis told Golf Channel. “There is a rivalry between each of us players players. Is it raised with Rory? Of course. You can do it that way. But look at any time we go to the arena, we are trying to be the best we can be, and if it helps the golf game to shine, so be it.”
