TIL Desk Sports/ Spurred on by heckling from the US crowd, Rory Mcllroy bared his teeth at the 2016 Ryder Cup and formed a one-two punch with Thomas Pieters before finally running out steam on Sunday. World number three McIlroy had been the most determined European player all week at Hazeltine National, but an 18-hole singles battle against America’s top player Patrick Reed took every ounce of energy he had.
“I am running on fumes,” Mcllroy told reporters following Europe’s 17-11 loss to the US in the 41st Ryder Cup. “I won three points. I wish I could have been better, but I did all I could. “All the energy I expended this week, it caught up to me on the back nine today. I was trying to summon up the energy. I was trying to do everything I could. I was taking loads of fluids and trying to eat plenty.
“There is not much more I could have done.” Mcllroy lost to Reed 1-up in a epic showdown that lasted 18 holes and kicked off the singles matches on Sunday morning. On Saturday, Mcllroy had security eject a heckler that had made a crude comment to him as he walked towards a tee box. “A couple of people out there crossed the line. We will take it on the chin,” Mcllroy said.
