Rory McIlroy was greeted with chants of 'Rory, Rory, Rory' to the tune of Cranberries hit 'Zombie' as he began his Ryder Cup round on Sunday.
However, when McIlroy began his round on Sunday fans could be heard loudly chanting his name to the tune of 'Zombie' as the Europeans backed one of their star players. There had been reports throughout the day that Cantlay had not been wearing a team hat in protest at not being paid to play, something he denied.
“Rory felt the line was crossed on the 18th green. He is a passionate player – we all are in this event – and I will speak to him later about it.”
