"Yeah, I think Rory is very comfortable with himself, I think he has thick skin. I think that he can handle the blowback of if he says something that he believes and it is not taken in the right way, I think he's happy to see it how he sees it and call it how he sees it. And I think he has the freedom on the golf course to just roll with that."
"What he says I don't think layers into his golf game, and that's an amazing talent that he has. I think he always plays incredibly freely, and I think that's probably the line where Rory can tiptoe better than most."
Rory McIlroy earned the nickname 'Rocky' after a car park rant in Rome and has called Patrick Cantlay 'a dick' and labelled Bryson DeChambeau an attention grabber. He provoked boos when fans entered on Tuesday and appears ready to use vitriol as rocket fuel. Justin Rose, Europe’s second most capped player with six Ryder Cups, described McIlroy as comfortable with himself and possessing thick skin and stated that blowback does not affect his golf. Rose highlighted McIlroy’s freedom on the course and his ability to play freely, and Rose is on his seventh Ryder Cup appearance at 45.
