Their place"Rory McIlroy won his Friday foursome game against Collin Morikawa and Harris English in a team with Tommy Fleetwood at the Ryder Cup by 5&4, and, in a team with Shane Lowry, played in a fourball game against Sam Burns and Patrick Cantlay, which resulted in a draw. He won both of his matchups on Saturday but lost to Scottie Scheffler in Sunday singles.
In the post-round press conference, Rory McIlroy opened up about his team's win and said (via ASAP Sports):
"Extremely proud to be a part of this team. I'm extremely proud of every single one of the players, the vice captains, the captain, all the back room support staff. This was unbelievable collective effort. "As soon as we won in Rome we turned our attention to trying to do something that everyone thought was pretty impossible to do, not just win in America but win here in New York. It's just been an amazing week," he added.Earlier this year, McIlroy won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the Players Championship, and the Masters on the PGA Tour, and on the DP World Tour, he won the Irish Open.
