Sharing the update, Kyle Porter has reported that the Northern Irishman this time used abusive language, saying, “Shut the f*** up.”

Fans are offended by Rory McIlroy’s move, while some offer support

Even Fried Egg Golf weighed in, asking, “Does this take Rory out of the running for the Nicklaus-Jacklin Award presented by Aon?”

The award, inspired by Jack Nicklaus’s famous 1969 concession to Tony Jacklin, represents sportsmanship and respect in the Ryder Cup. But with McIlroy caught using profanity twice in the span of two days, his chances of being considered for the honor have likely taken a hit.

Not all fans were critical, though. One pointed out, “And then stuffed it to 3 feet,” while another added, “ND THEN DRILLED IT LEGEND 👊👊👊👊.”

So while plenty slammed McIlroy’s reaction, others praised the way he backed it up with his play. The Northern Irishman went on to sink the putt, securing his second foursomes win of the day — a sharp contrast to Robert MacIntyre’s missed chance earlier.

Still, with most fans disapproving of his gesture, McIlroy is likely to face even more scrutiny as the tournament continues. And if the heckling ramps up, his every reaction will be under the spotlight.
