“There were also three texts and two missed calls from Tiger.
” The incident between Rory McIlroy and Joe LaCava at the Ryder Cup is still a topic that will be discussed a lot in the near future. A few days ago, Rory revealed new details about the ongoing parking lot altercation.
McIlroy had an altercation with Justin Thomas’s caddy, Jim ‘Bones’ Mackay. He was aware that he had made a mistake in those moments, but the anger he felt was probably what caused him to not look at things rationally and logically. “He came over to try to defuse the situation but he was wearing an American shirt, and I knew he was friends with Joe, and I just tripped.
Absolutely furious. Then I felt bad bad because Joe’s wife Bones was standing next to him, “And I used a lot of bad words.” So it wasn’t my best moment.
Then Shane walked me to the car. We arrived at the hotel and when you enter the lobby, we turned left into the hotel wing, and the Americans went straight into their wing.
So we turned left and someone yelled at me: ‘Rory! Rory!”. , and I looked back and it was Ricky Elliott [Brooks Koepka’s caddy] and Claude Harmon [Koepka’s coach].” – Rory said.
Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy
McIlroy has a soft spot for LaCava, but it’s clear that now things between them aren’t exactly ideal.
In those moments, everyone wants the situation to calm down and hope into the best possible outcome. Another interesting thing is that Rory McIlroy missed calls and texts from Tiger Woods.” And they’re trying to defuse the situation but I’m starting to try them.
‘Joe LaCava was a good guy when he was a cadet for the Tigers, and now he’s a cadet because of this, he’s become… ‘ I’m still not in an open space. I go back to my room and get a text from Joe LaCava: ‘Hey Rory, do I want to meet up tomorrow morning to clear the air.” But I was tired so I didn’t go back to him.
There were also three texts and two missed calls from Tiger because they were obviously still close. I sent him a short text: ‘Everything will be fine… it’s been a long day… I just want to go to sleep.’
