Golf is a game of temperament and under high-pressure situations, darker sides can be seen. Rory McIlroy, who is a fan’s favorite, has done arguably the opposite to disappoint many. Recently, the golfer at the Genesis Invitational was getting closer to the top spot with his performance after two rounds. However, in the third round, he couldn’t find the best of his game, which even led to cursing a fan over a comment they made.
The details about the incident were shared by Dan Rapport through a post on X. The post wrote, “Rory misses a putt on 3. Random fam: “BLAME YOUR CADDIE.” Rory responds immediately. “shut the f*** up.” He’s got zero time for any Harry Diamond slander.”
Well, the Northern Irishman has been associated with Harry Diamond, who is his childhood friend since 2017. Even won the previous event i.e., AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am along with him. Now with a fan passing a comment on him, it did trigger a lash out, but even his behavior did trigger the fans. After the post surfaced, netizens started to share their thoughts on his behavior.
One fan wrote, “With this behaviour, I don’t think he is going to win big again. The guy is under pressure I think.”
Others joined in, commenting, “Not Harry’s fault that Rory can’t putt for s–t this weekend,” and “Mental midget .”
