“In the video Rory appears to be wiping her hat off & asking if she’s okay, then moves further away from the USA fans," it continued. “Another tough look for the fans today if true.”
However, some fans weren't in a sympathetic mood. "Let’s not overlook Rory flipping the fans off and cussing them out and getting fans kicked out. Tough look," responded one in the podcast's X comment thread.
"There is a long standing tradition of heckling during the Ryder Cup. But this would cross the line," another wrote, however. "If this is true. That’s too far period. Verbal abuse is what we need to stick too. And leave the Family out of it," added another.
