FARMINGDALE, NY – Rory McIlroy had enough.

Hitting from the rough on the 16th hole of his Saturday foursome match alongside fellow European Tommy Fleetwood at the 2025 Ryder Cup, McIlroy backed off the ball just before his shot to silence a group of hecklers.

“Guys,” McIlroy yelled, “shut the (expletive) up.”

McIlroy then hit his gap wedge – he was 149 yards from the pin – to within three feet to ice the match, as he and Fleetwood handily defeated Americans Harris English and Collin Morikawa, and the partnership improved to 2-0 on the weekend.

The New York crowd has held up the tradition of the home side’s fans making life difficult for the opposition, but the American fans haven’t had much to cheer over the first two days of the tournament.

McIlroy hasn’t lost at the 2025 Ryder Cup; he won both foursome (alternate shot) matches with ease and he and Shane Lowry halved their fourball (best ball) match against Sam Burns and Patrick Cantlay in the afternoon session Friday.

McIlroy and Lowry are facing Cameron Young and Bryson DeChambeau in the Saturday afternoon fourball session.

Europe entered the afternoon leading 8.5-3.5. McIlroy helped the Europeans become the first team to win the first three sessions of a Ryder Cup on foreign soil.
