Rory McIlroy in tears after putting car park row behind him with Ryder Cup win

Rory McIlroy tasted sweet redemption at the Ryder Cup on Sunday, delivering his fourth point of the week to put Europe on the brink of victory at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

Rory McIlroy cut an emotional figure in the aftermath of his singles victory at the Ryder Cup on Sunday, putting a spat with Patrick Cantlay’s caddy Joe LaCava behind him.

McIlroy defeated Sam Burns 3&1 to put Europe within half a point of regaining the trophy at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome, earning redemption after a miserable time at Whistling Straits two years ago.

The Northern Irishman has been talismanic for the boys in blue in Rome, playing in every session and delivering four out of a possible five points to put Luke Donald’s team on the brink of victory.

It was all the more satisfying for McIlroy after a bizarre row with LaCava on the 18th green late on Saturday. Cantlay holed a trio of birdie putts to salvage a miraculous win alongside Wyndham Clark in the fourballs against McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick.
