Social Media Reacts To Emotional Rory McIlroy Interview
Going in to the Sunday singles, Team Europe faced a mountain of a challenge at the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits.
Having lost all three of his matches, Rory McIlroy had come under some fire. However, the four-time Major champion showed his class and steely determination, defeating one of USA’s in-form players, Xander Schauffele 3&2.
In an interview with Henni Koyack after his match, an emotional McIlroy broke down in tears saying “I love being part of this team. I love my teammates so much and I should have done more for them this week.”
The interview was a real tear jerker, with people taking to Twitter to voice their thoughts and support of the 32-year-old.

There have been a lot of great moments in this Ryder Cup but this may have been the best couple minutes of the week. He summed up what it means to be part of a team, beautifully. https://t.co/do0m30oki3

I don’t believe athletes need to role models. It’s not their job. But Rory McIlroy just simply is. And that’s why he is so great.

Rory McIlroy choking back tears after winning his match. "It is by far the best experience in golf. No matter what happens after this, I'm proud of our players, I'm proud of our captains and vice captains." Can tell how much this means to him.

Rory McIlroy is the honest athlete we don't deserve. Might be the only guy whose emotions make the US win not quite as sweet as it normally would be. And I"m fine with that.

“I’ve never cried over what I did individually. I couldn’t give a shit.” – Rory McIlroy
The #RyderCup just means more to these guys. Accept it. Embrace it. And let’s act like it.

One of the strangest sporting narratives in recent years is that Rory McIlroy doesn't really care about the game any more. #RyderCup
