We carefully dissect video evidence that proves Rory McIlroy, Team Europe and the Media are all lying about caddie Joe LaCava and Rory’s putt on the 18th green at the Ryder Cup during the end of Saturday’s four ball match against Patrick Cantlay and Wyndham Clark.

It was completely unnecessary and unreasonable for LaCava to behave in this way during live play. Rory made the most of the opportunity, but he genuinely felt it was unacceptable considering the requirements of golf etiquette during putting specifically. It seems Rory was determined to win the Ryder Cup and he achieved it by any means.
Spot on analysis here, as Rory looks to prop himself up by diminishing others. He's done this many times in the past. He's a petulant tool unless he's in the spotlight.
It was all a psyop, same with the footage later when Rory was yelling at Bones , the media needed a story to try to get more interest after the US side wasn’t living up to expectations, Pro sport is all entertainment, truth and real facts don’t count , it’s all about keeping the viewer engaged, so when it’s not going to plan the media/networks insert a fake story which they run with for next 24 hrs , it’s the same with MSM , governments do psyops all the time , the media then do there job by pushing the planned narrative for next 2-5 days , every thing we are being told by media is BS , remember it’s called tell a vision for a reason , its all staged
Sooner or later Rory is gonna get his 5'-3" 136 lb. boy band ass kicked.
Regardless if someone likes Rory or not, this is not how a caddy has to behave on a golf course. Full Stop.
So Lacava was a player ? His player had finished for the day but he’s still there in the middle of the green, on his own with no players or other caddies around him, waving his hat. He’s just the hired help and ,no matter how enthusiastic, should learn his place.
If Rory has a problem with caddies he should carry his own damn bag!
So glad you pointed this out I saw it the same way. No way is Joe in his way so tired of Rory's Candy ass. Was wondering when someone was going to point this out. It's ok for Euro;s to act this way but if an American celebrates there's a issue. Totally agree mentally weak little puppet boy He will have this issue in all major events and blame anyone but himself. Golf is a great game that exposes the weakness of character a play ha. Fail on RORY.
Rory is pretty much Greta Thunberg… media will stick up for anything he does no matter how stupid
Rory isn’t comfortable in his skin… hasn’t been the same since the broken engagement, Markel fling and big Nike contract… He sold out and let everything possible get in the way of his potential to be great
imagine if this is PReed, Bryson or Cantlay that reacted this was to Rory’s caddy celebrating… I bet the framing of this would be a little different in the corrupt media
Repudiating an allegation that was never made.
This is a totally biast video, ridden with suggestive animosity. I watched this Live, actions taken could be looked on as quite obvious, amid the disrespectful, foul-mouthed, sore-loser attitude that rapidly started oozing from the USA.
Apart from said Caddy, how many Americans are still celebrating? Good shot yes, but it's done. Rory to putt. Quiet on the Green. Who's still waving his cap!? Slowly hovering, conveniently into what he knows is Rory's path. Far too near Rory's ball. A Professional Caddy should show respect to the sport. Ryder Cup ffs?! You have to bite the bullet when the Boot is on the other Foot
Your edit fools nobody , Joe did not start waving when you say . Joe restarted waving his cap and walked back downwards . There is another complete video and you will see what you tried to hide .
Your analysis is ridiculous and typically you're an American goof
Typical American commentator….the yank must be in the right….not! Lacava should have been nowhere in the vicinity….he is a caddy for Christ's sake!
Actually he said – mooove! He was in his walking line as he was circling. Thanks for the character assassination however. How many majors have you won btw?
Rory is a pompous little Leprechaun, very few people outside of golf or his inner circle like him. He’s a full fledge liberal just like his NY wife.
Rory is weak. Hes always got something to say about another player but he cant be questioned. Its the Ryder Cup. This is not a tour event and shouldnt be treated as such. Not only that but Lacava never interfered with Rory. Not even close.
As usual your take is wrong. Not thinking is what you guys do. Lacava was 100% in the wrong. He kept talking smack. He is a caddie. He was way over the top.
We all know that if Koepka was in his way Rory would have hidden behind his own caddy! 😮
LaCava's real crime…being American and celebrating anything.
Honestly who could like any of these people. Multi-millionaires playing a game as grown men and acting like it actually matters. Get a job!
It is amazing how people will look at something at let their feelings dictate what they see! People saying Joe had no right to be on green celebrating in the first place are simply clueless. I can find video of Rory and his caddy, or Spieth and Growler, or half a dozen others doing the same. Anyone ever watch Zack's old caddie walk around flapping his arms like a bird??? NOW, LaVaca was 100% wrong for approaching Rory the second time. At that point he should have realized Rory was just in a bad whiney mood and walked away. But Rory started this, it is totally on him.
Rory making this an issue is a perfect example of why he has never lived up to his full potential. Tiger or Jack could have had him doing jumping jacks on their line and they wouldn't have lost focus.
Bollocks. LaCava is a caddy and had no right to be anywhere near Rory. Cantlay had sunk his putt. LaCavas next job is to putt cantlays putter in the bag and be ready to walk off the course. LaCava was just there for showmanship. No other USA caddy was out there.
This is not video footage. It is a composed video of stills. Joe was not tending the flag. Celebrate away and have a ball but don't proceed closer to the hole. The US team was great with their response and never went nearer the green. Joe screwed up. A nice moment for Team USA and a great finish for Patty Ice but there's no place for that crap on Joe's part.
Lot of projection here.
Who is saying JL stepped in Rory's line? I heard that Rory said JL was in his sight line. JL for sure in the wrong here when he went back at Rory.
Lol. I was there and LaCava was very much in the wrong. So take your attempt at a rearguard action and stick it.
Media and Rory lying?!Please explain to me logically what LaCava was doing on the green after his player had finished putting and his player’s opponent was yet to putt?He should have been completely off the goddam green!
Great perspective, I think Rors got a pass for being him, but shouldn’t have!
At the moment it happened my exact thought was Rory had no need to stop and confront Joe. He was pissed at that putt going in and he is a bit entitled at times. Joe also should have just walked away and not kept barking at Rory. Neither man showed great sportsmanship in this incident. But to say Rory is weak mentally is also a dumb thing to say. Clearly you don't like Rory but saying he's weak mentally flies in the face of the evidence of his achievements in golf. Rory shouldn't have instigated this and Joe should've backed off given Rory is an actual competitor and still had a putt to execute. Not a good look for either man. Good analysis of the incident but the rest of the editorial is unfair.
I usually like the Thinking…however. this vid. I can't agree with. The CADDIE walks towards Rory while he's pacing the putt after a great USA hole out. It's Golf and a basic etiquette exists between players – so CADDIES get out the way….Rory lost it, however it was the Caddies fault – end of. So no I don't agree Rory is fragile, just a Golfer that thinks the caddie put him off and it upset him.
Rory is simply a poor loser.
