Rory McIlroy and Joe LaCava met at the Ryder Cup to clear the air Sunday, one day after their disagreement on the 18th green spilled into a parking lot.
A British media report on Saturday suggested that the U.S. team was fractured, and that Cantlay was one of the reasons because of his displeasure with American players not being paid to compete in the Ryder Cup. The report said Cantlay wasn't wearing a team-issued hat in protest, which he denied.
Many European fans mocked Cantlay during Saturday afternoon's match by waving their hats at him. After Cantlay made the final putt, he pretended to tip a hat to the crowd. Other American players, caddies and team members waved their hats to European fans as well. "Patrick made three great putts at the end to seal the deal, so hats off to them," McIlroy said after the match."They played a great match, and yeah, I mean, a few scenes there on 18 and just fuel for the fire tomorrow."
