Rory McIlroy irked after Americans celebrate Ryder Cup win on 18th

GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy -- European star Rory McIlroy had to be ushered into a car by teammate Shane Lowry during a heated argument in the parking lot of Marco Simone Golf Club on Saturday, after McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick lost their Ryder Cup match to Patrick Cantlay and Wyndham Clark on the 18th hole.

NBC footage of the incident showed McIlroy screaming at someone, while caddie Jim "Bones" Mackay was standing close by. McIlroy shouted: "This can't happen. This can't happen. It's a f---ing disgrace." Mackay is American player Justin Thomas' caddie.
