"There are few more unhinged spectacles in sport than team press conferences on Ryder Cup Sundays, where the raw aftermath draws the finest golfers into varying degrees of exultation, desolation and inebriation."
"Wiping away tears as Luke Donald praised him, arguing his place in history was secure, he also could not conceal his rage when reminded of the hoodlums who left his wife Erica drenched in beer. Only half-jesting, he said his greatest wish was that the police dogs protecting him had been let off the lead."
Team press conferences on Ryder Cup Sundays become unhinged spectacles where the finest golfers reveal raw exultation, desolation and inebriation. At Bethpage, Rory McIlroy openly displayed emotion as the sun set. He wiped away tears while Luke Donald praised him and asserted his place in history was secure. McIlroy also expressed visible rage when reminded that hoodlums had drenched his wife Erica in beer. He half-joked that his greatest wish was that the police dogs protecting him had been let off the lead, conveying both anger and dark humour.
