Jon Rahm details brutal ‘terrorist’ and ‘traitors’ | Sports News

“With my group, so with me and Tyrrell and Sepp, right, all three of us rather overweight, two of them with a very far back hairline and two of us being in LIV, all I heard was traitor, terrorist, fat, Ozempic, a lot,” Rahm shared, experiences the Mirror US.

“And I had this guy in my ear calling me a traitor, terrorist, this and that. And first thing I want to say is I’m like, dude, a traitor to who? I’m not from this country, clearly….” He continued, “And there was a woman next to the guy that was grilling me that just goes, well, for that amount of money, I will do it too… And then they started arguing. They started having a conversation. They started arguing with themselves. I’m like, okay, and I actually found it quite funny..”

The criticism did not stop there, because the grand slam champion discovered himself on the receiving finish of important backlash from spectators. Europe in the end secured their first away victory since 2012, although not earlier than McIlroy famously instructed hecklers to “shut the f— up” during the second day’s play.

He subsequently remarked, “I don’t think we should ever accept that in golf.” Speaking with The Overlap, McIlroy elaborated on the expertise, emphasizing his perception that such conduct has no place within the sport.

“Oh, by far [the worst crowd I’ve ever experienced],” McIlroy stated. “In 2016 we played the Ryder Cup in Minnesota, and I thought that was bad. But I compare this year to 2016, and 2016 was nothing compared to some of the stuff we heard.

“We knew going to New York that we have been going to get a lot of stick, a lot of abuse. For six months proper earlier than the competitors, everybody was saying it should be hostile. I did not [think it would be as hostile as it was]. Look, I do not care if people are saying no matter they’re saying to me, even the primary tee announcers shouting: ‘f— you, Rory,’ which is nothing in comparison with the opposite stuff we heard.”
