Rory McIlroy looked to have confronted Team USA caddie Jim Mackay in the car park after Day 2 of the Ryder Cup because he was furious with caddie Joe LaCava for waiving his cap in celebration before his putt
Luke Donald has confirmed that Rory McIlroy was 'livid' after Patrick Cantlay's caddie celebrated before the Europe star had finished playing.
McIlroy had to be taken away from the area by team-mate Shane Lowry after launching a verbal attack following his loss to Wyndham Clark and Cantlay in a fourball with Matthew Fitzpatrick.Cantlay's caddie, Joe LaCava, infuriated McIlroy by waving his cap in celebration before the Northern Irishman had a chance to hole a putt that could have earned the Europeans a tie.
He was caught on video standing in front of Jim ‘Bones’ Mackay - Justin Thomas’s caddie - angrily pointing at someone, widely believed to be LaCava. "I was there on 18. I saw it unfold when Patrick made that putt, Joe was waving his hat," Donald said. "[McIlroy] politely asked Joe to move aside. He was in his line of vision. He stood there and didn’t move for a while and continued to wave the hat, so I think Rory was upset about that.
