"Unfortunately, I think it takes away from what we focused on, which was what an incredible performance it was by the European team. As I'm playing my matches, I'm focused on trying to win my point. You see that the other guys are winning their matches or they are doing well but you don't realise how well they are playing."
"So just over the last two weeks, being able to watch the highlights and just see, especially those first two days, in the foursomes and the fourballs how good the European team were. The Americans would hit it close, we hit it closer. The Americans hole a putt and we hole a putt on top. It happened every single time."
Rory McIlroy seeks to shift focus from disruptive spectator behaviour at Bethpage Black to the European team's dominant Ryder Cup performance. Significant fan misconduct included a beer hitting McIlroy's wife and verbal abuse directed at McIlroy. McIlroy returned to competition at the India Championship aiming to refocus attention on Europe's play, especially the foursomes and fourballs. Team Europe repeatedly outplayed the United States by hitting closer and holing putts under pressure. McIlroy expressed pride in being part of the away-team victory and urged emphasis on the squad's excellence rather than the crowd incidents.
