Ryder Cup: Cantlay jeered after McIlroy-caddy spat

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 1 - Team USA's so-far MVP Patrick Cantlay was jeered by home fans ahead of Sunday's 12 Ryder Cup singles matches after a spat between his caddy and Team Europe ace Rory McIlroy on the last green in Sunday's last four-ball which the American won with a clutch birde putt, celebrated by bagman Joe LaCava in a riotous fashion that putt the Northern Irishman off his successive putt to halve the hole.
    Standing in McIlroy's eye line, LaCava whooped and waved his cap in a now iconic salute to Cantlay, who has not been wearing headgear in a rumoured protest against not getting paid for golf's epic team clash, taking place in Italy for the first time.
    McIlroy angrily confronted LaCava after he and Robert MacIntyre lost the match to Cantaly and Wyndham Clark, earning the Americans a crucial point to lag by five points instead of five and a half or six going into the final day.
    The row continued in the car park, where four-time major winner McIlroy had to be bundled away by former Open champ Shane Lowry of Ireland. (ANSA).
