News 18  

Rory McIlroy said on Sunday that being the leading points scorer in Europe’s Ryder Cup victory “means a lot” after his disappointing performance at Whistling Straits two years ago left him in tears.

Asked about the incident, McIlroy simply twice said: “I haven’t met Joe.” “I let it fuel me.
