Rory McIlroy tees off on Ryder Cup crowd with cursing outburst

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- Rory McIlroy told fans to "Shut the f--- up!" after they were yelling during his pre-shot routine in the morning foursomes session of the Ryder Cup on Saturday.

Sitting 2 up during his and Tommy Fleetwood's match against Collin Morikawa and Harris English, McIlroy was in the right rough near the gallery about to hit his approach shot when he backed off and shouted the remark at the crowd.

McIlroy went through his routine again and hit the shot to a few feet, where Fleetwood's birdie putt closed out the 3-and-2 win for the Europeans.
