Rory McIlroy under fire after US Open interview as golf fans have their say
Rory McIlroy hasn't always had the best relationship with the media as fans have criticised the Northern Irishman for his comments during the US Open Golf ace Rory McIlroy 's remarks following his latest US Open stint have sparked a flurry of debate among fans and pundits alike. The five-time major winner, who avoided journalists after the opening rounds, broke his silence speaking to the press after seven long championship rounds across major tournaments. McIlroy, fresh from his Masters triumph, spoke frankly about his tribulations at the Pennsylvania course. Not only did he express hesitation about continuing past Friday's round, but he also stoked controversy by stating that he has "earned the right" to select when he engages with media outlets. This candidness stirred a reaction on social media; some golf enthusiasts dubbed McIlroy's attitude as brashness, while others slung harsher words calling him a "Complete loser" and "So unlikable." Nevertheless, it wasn't all criticism thrown at the Northern Irish pro, as some supporters came to his defence. Amidst the backlash, a supporter argued, recognising McIlroy's slate of achievements including his career grand slam. "I'm not even a huge fan of Rory but people need to give this dude a break. He doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. He's one a few players alive with a grand slam in his pocket. Let the man be," reports the Mirror US. The European Ryder Cup hero has been making headlines not just for his swings but also for his silence. Last month at the PGA Championship, he made a statement by refusing to speak after each round at Quail Hollow. This followed the revelation that McIlroy had to switch clubs just before the major tournament began because his driver face didn't pass a routine USGA check. When probed about whether the drama over his non-conforming driver influenced his media blackout, he admitted: "I mean, that was a part of it. Yeah, that was a part of it. "But it's not as if -- like at Augusta, I skipped you guys on Thursday, so yeah, again, it's not as if it's not out of the ordinary. I've done it before; I'm just doing it a little more often." McIlroy has faced a challenging time on the course at Oakmont, with even the world's top players struggling against the punishing conditions. On Friday, the 36-year-old had to pull off two late birdies just to stay above the cut line. When asked about his close shave on Saturday, McIlroy candidly said: "It's funny, like it's much easier being on the cut line when you don't really care if you're here for the weekend or not." McIlroy seemed to be looking forward to a swift departure from the championship, saying: "I was sort of thinking, do I really want two more days here or not. So it makes it easier to play better when you're in that mindset." He added: "Hopefully a round in under four and a half hours and get out of here," indicating his desire to wrap up his final round quickly on Sunday, with an early tee time awaiting him as he sits at 10-over with 18 holes remaining.

Petersen was continuously talking during the match but it was his decision to pour some of his drink over Gurney's darts case that crossed the line. Rock hit out at the act after the match as he claimed the South African was "disrespectful". He said: "Devon started talking for the bull-up and it got me fired up and then he decided to pour a bit of a drink over Daryl's case.

Gurney also slammed Petersen for his talk during the match and joked he would be a millionaire if he was paid per word. He said: "If Devon was paid for every single word, he would be an absolute millionaire because not once did he shut up. "Even in the bull pen he was at it and it annoyed him [Josh].

'I think his tooth just fell out' - Sky Sports commentator convinced World Cup of Darts star suffered bizarre injury He added: "The only time he did not talk was whenever he was throwing, but that's Devon's game. "I told him [Rock] that because I played South Africa before and Devon did the exact same, I just blacked him out this time and it didn't bother me. "I shouldn't have messed about whenever I had those three darts at 32 and then I shouldn't have done a stupid one, a blind 180, because that's just stupid. "That's playing into Devon's hands, but at the same time, Devon loves it and he'll go back, and the first thing he'll say is 'Oh, you see what I did? I made Daryl do this'. 'But, no, glad to get the result. We're in the draw and that's the main thing that matters." The Northern Irish pair will now face neighbours Ireland in the quarter-finals of the tournament. Irish ace William O'Connor has already complained about the conditions at the World Cup of Darts. The Limerick-born thrower has insisted that it is "too hot" on the stage to get the best from the players. Elsewhere, Belgian star Dimitri van den Bergh has announced he will NOT be returning to darts full-time after his shock retirement.
