Rory McIlroy’s Emotional Winning Interview | Sunday Singles | 2025 Ryder Cup
Well, Rory Maroy, you said two years ago that winning a Radic Cup on foreign soil was one of the hardest things to do in golf. Your team have done it. How proud are you in this moment? [Applause] Yeah, I am uh I’m extremely proud to be a part of this team. I’m extremely proud of every single one of the players, the VCs, the captain, all the back room support staff. Um this was an unbelievable collective effort. As soon as we won in Rome, we turned our attention to trying to do something that um everyone thought was pretty impossible to do. Not just win in America, but win here in New York. Um it’s just it’s been an amazing week. You were emotional four years ago at Whistling Straits. I sense some emotion now, but how different are the feelings that you felt four years ago to the ones you’re feeling now? Yeah, just like to hear the Olay’s here uh in America to, you know, honestly to do something that a lot of people thought that we couldn’t do. I mean, what the the the comments and what people were saying after whistling straits about this decades of American dominance, you know, that was we took a lot from that. We let that fuel us. Um we had we got so lucky in getting an incredible leader in McDonald and you know he shepherded us through this whole process and he’s been absolutely amazing. A lot of the credit has to go down to him. 11 of the 12 players from Rome came back. We did what we needed to do and we are going to celebrate like there is no tomorrow. Enjoy it. Well done.

No one in golf history has had to play under that level of abuse. Just burnt himself out by Sunday but his performance Friday and Saturday was nothing short of remarkable
Too complacent today and let the Americans back in the door. Luckily there was still enough embers to carry the team over the line. Aberg, the only winner today, the putt from Lowry on 18 to clinch the decisive half, Hatton's putt on 18 to get the winning half point, Mc Intyre's putt on 18 to get a seal-the-deal half point. That close to defeat was way too close.
"Shut the eff up!"
Welcome to Dump's America, this why you don't put racist felons who likes kids back in the white house. That is coming from a REAL white American.
A special win under the hostile envirement. Kudos to the European players. And yes, the grind of the US players was grat today.
Midwestern Yank here. What happened to Rory and his wife is not only embarrassing it's downright pathetic. Please don't hold it against America, we don't like New York fans either. Much respect and appreciation for Rory and Team Europe. Congratulations 🏆
Rory demonstrated true Sportsmanship during the event! Next time, have the event in Europe!
I delight in McElroy choking.
