Rory McIlroy has explained how his red mist moment, when he felt “the angriest I have ever been in my career”, helped to push Europe towards Ryder Cup glory after the trophy was reclaimed in Rome. McIlroy also confidently asserted that the team will successfully defend the cup at Bethpage in New York in two years’ time.
McIlroy was infuriated by the celebrations of Joe LaCava, Patrick Cantlay’s caddie, as he lined up a putt at the end of a match on Saturday evening. McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick lost by a hole against Cantlay and Wyndham Clark.
