I was laughing and remarking to my wife how much nicer people were treating Rory at Augusta this weekend versus how he was treated at Bethpage a few months ago at the Ryder Cup.

We had a chuckle.

Rory McIlroy has heated exchange with fan at PGA Championship​

Rory McIlroy's frustrating final round at the PGA Championship on Sunday boiled over with an angry exchange with a fan after a "U-S-A!" shout from the gallery at Aronimink Golf Club.

An errant shot out of heavy rough at the scoreable 16th hole derailed McIlroy's come-from-behind bid, and he appeared to respond to the shout by using an expletive while telling the fan to "shut up."

The exchange summarized the two-time Masters champion's confounding final round.

McIlroy said earlier in the week that the outlandish and abusive fan behavior he endures -- as at the Ryder Cup in 2025 -- is usually limited to one week every four years, when those matches are contested in the U.S.

He didn't comment on the fan interaction but acknowledged that he left some strokes on the course.

Just sayin': If the fan just yelled "U-S-A!" at a time when McIlory wasn't in the process of hitting the ball; I really don't see anything wrong with that. Fans have always been know to yell things after the ball is hit, you hear someone yell "in the hole" all the time. PGA golfers need to block out the fans and give their full attention to their game. McIlroy let the fan get to him. The fan won.
