FARMINGDALE, New York (Reuters) -Rory McIlroy had endured enough heckling from the hostile Ryder Cup crowd at Bethpage Black on Saturday and when the Northern Irishman finally snapped back with an expletive, he made sure to back it up with his golf clubs.
While preparing to hit from the rough 149 yards out at the par-four 16th hole, the rowdy and relentless crowd was giving the five-times major champion an earful and did not settle down even as he addressed the ball.
