Rory McIlroy Stopped Play at Ryder Cup Due to Fans' Abuse: What Happened.

Conflict at Ryder Cup

According to The Sun: Rory McIlroy refused to take his shot at the Ryder Cup due to aggressive shouts from American fans.

As a result of the situation, some fans were removed from the Bethpage Black stadium.

Situation on the Field

McIlroy and Shane Lowry teamed up again in the fourballs on Saturday afternoon. Lowry made two decisive shots, putting Team Europe two points ahead of Justin Thomas and Cameron Young. In response to the abuse, the Irishman shouted, 'f*** you.'

The conflict escalated on the sixth green. McIlroy was preparing to take a long shot, but shouts and cries from the stands were disruptive. Even when he tried to take the shot, the abuse continued.

As a result, McIlroy stepped away from the ball twice as the distraction became too intense. He attempted to explain to the American pair and the fans that he could not play while the situation was unsettled, and the pause lasted about four minutes.

The Northern Irishman finished with a par, but Lowry managed to make an impressive shot under pressure, allowing them to halve the hole.

Even Justin Thomas was accused of inciting fans, likely worsening the situation. Commentators noted that one fan was removed on a cart after Lowry requested another spectator's removal.

In a previous match, McIlroy also lost his temper due to loud fans, winning alongside Fleetwood, and shouted at one of them: 'shut the f*** up.'
