'Prick Of The Year' Golfer Blasts Middle Finger At Some Of America's Craziest Sports Fans

I hate this guy … truly, truly hate this guy.
During 11th hole action Friday afternoon at Bethpage Black, Team Europe’s Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry were squaring off in a Ryder Cup four-ball match against Americans Patrick Cantlay and Sam Burns, and during so, it was a back-and-forth battle.
Lowry knocked in a 3-foot shot for birdie on 11, doing so after some magic with his short iron from 114 yards, and Lowry and McIlroy ended up going 2-up in the contest. This sparked up a celebration from the Europeans, and at one point, Lowry pointed towards a fan who was greenside, with commentators believing he was just motioning at a fan who had an Ireland flag. From there, Lowry and McIlroy exited the green. (RELATED: Ryder Cup Crowd Goes Ballistic For President Trump In Glorious Appearance)
And then, it happened.
Caught on Sky Sports’ cameras, McIlroy dished out a single finger to fans (and I’m assuming American fans), and it wasn’t friendly.

We already know that Rory McIlroy is a prick, I’ve been telling you guys that for a long minute now, nothing new there. But it sucks, because I can’t even talk ish how I want to because we’re (America) getting our asses kicked!
And quite frankly, that’s a lot more irritating to me right now … I want victory! Get it done, boys!
