Rory McIlroy deserves to be heckled at every single golf tournament on US soil for the rest of his miserable career.
I can’t think of a more unlikable athlete in professional sports today.
Open Championship leader Sam Burns played with Bryson DeChambeau today and he said the fans were very supportive of him after yesterday’s ruling. He also said he didn’t think Bryson deserved the penalty:
“I thought the fans were very supportive of Bryson today. We didn't discuss it any.
“In my personal opinion, I honestly feel bad for Bryson in the situation that he was in. From my perspective, I didn't feel like maybe there was enough evidence for him to deserve a penalty there.
“I feel bad for him. I think he played an incredible round of golf late yesterday, and it's unfortunate to have something kind of like that where they come in after your round and tell you you're being docked two shots.
“But props to him. He came out and played a really nice round of golf today, and that takes a lot of grit to be able to come out and do that. So I was impressed.”

Rory McIlroy is undeniably one of golf’s elite talents with a record that speaks for itself.
But today’s comments about Bryson were pathetic. Saying he’s “not particularly fond of him” and labeling his hard work “performative” and “designed for attention” reveals a petty, bitter side that has no place in this game.
True champions don’t tear down others who are grinding and winning. That was small, classless, and beneath you, Rory.
I’m done.
@eamonlynch@golfweek This is the guy who said Bethpage shouldn't be allowed to host the PGA championship because the Euros might get their feelings hurt.
@Cant_Be_Rated Context? She finally got some correct calls after constantly being mauled for 3 seasons. Every season, all play "the worst team" yet none have done this ever. Caitlin is one of one.
