Rory McIlroy said being the focus of rowdy US supporters at the Ryder Cup felt like a compliment and helped galvanise the European team as they produced a 15-13 victory at Bethpage. He said the partisan atmosphere acted as fuel rather than a distraction, bringing the Europeans together under pressure on a tough course. McIlroy also noted he later received an apology from the PGA’s leadership over incidents surrounding the event.
