"Look, it was a rough week for all of us. But at the same time, we shut them up by our performance and how we played, and we tried to I chirped back a few times because it got to me a few times, but we tried to handle everything that came our way with class and poise, and for the most part, I felt like we did that, said McIlroy."
"At one point on Saturday, his wife, Erica Stoll, was hit with a drink cup that was fired out of the crowd. The cup grazed Stoll's hat, spilling some of its contents on her. It should be off-limits, but obviously it wasn't this week, McIlroy told reporters. Erica is fine. She's a very, very strong woman. She handled everything this week with class and poise and dignity like she always has. I love her and we're going to have a good time celebrating tonight."
"But as Golf magazine's Dylan Dethier notes, the drink-tossing may not have been entirely intentional: Here's the full scene as Rory McIlroy's wife Erica got hit with a beer (glanced off her hat) on Saturday afternoon. Rory and Lowry had just won on 18 and he was coming back to 17 to cheer on the groups behind and celebrate with Euro fans.

Rory McIlroy publicly criticized abusive and unacceptable fan behavior at the Ryder Cup after Europe defeated the United States on Long Island. His wife, Erica Stoll, was grazed by a drink cup that was fired from the crowd, spilling its contents on her hat. McIlroy said the European performance helped silence the crowd and that players tried to respond with class and poise despite provocation. He affirmed Erica was fine and praised her strength, dignity, and composure. Observers and video shared by Dylan Dethier suggested the drink toss may not have been entirely intentional.
