With the match tightening and the crowd screaming, Rory McIlroy backed off his approach shot from the rough on the 16th hole at Bethpage Black and shouted “Shut the (expletive) up!” Then he stepped in, hit that approach to 3 feet and Tommy Fleetwood made the putt to cap Europe’s 3-and-2 victory over Collin Morikawa and Harris English at the Ryder Cup. It was the second foursomes victory for the team called “Fleetwood Mac” over the American pairing of Morikawa and English. It gave Europe a lead of 6 1/2-3 1/2 with two matches left on the course in the morning, and guaranteed the Europeans would head into the afternoon fourball matches with the lead.
