Rory McIlroy has fan ejected from Ryder Cup after he yells 'Suck a ****'

Rory McIlroy wasn't messing around with a Ryder Cup fan on Saturday after that fan yelled a vulgar phrase at the four-time major winner.

On the seventh hole, a fan yelled, "Suck a dick, Rory!" after the European duo of McIlroy and Thomas Pieters halved the hole in birdies to remain 2 up against Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka.

McIlroy pointed out the fan and immediately had him ejected from Hazeltine National.

From that point, McIlroy played like a man possessed. He struck his approach on No. 9 to 18 inches to win the hole, then made birdies on Nos. 10 and 11 for critical halves.

Ultimately, McIlroy and Pieters won their third match together, winning by a 3-and-1 count.
