The unacceptable behavior of fans at Bethpage Black hit a new low Saturday, when a drink appeared to be swatted out of a fan’s hand and struck the hat of Rory McIlroy’s wife, Erica Stoll.

The beverage toss, which was caught on video by Spanish TV channel Movistar, seemed to connect with Stoll, who turned around in shock, as did McIlroy.

The video appears to show McIlroy, 36, comforting Stoll before the pair walked off.

  1. I condemn this behavior unconditionally. Any civilized person should do the same.

    What I find disingenuous & irrational are the comments in this thread that are blaming President Trump for the actions of some random drunk idiots in the golf crowd.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if some of the people who are blaming Trump for the idiot who threw the cup are some of the same people who were applauding the idiots for their recent political assassination attempts. That fact that you would unconditionally (and correctly) condemn a beer cup being thrown at a golf match, but not unconditionally condemn political assassination is off the charts hypocrisy.

    You know who you are.

  2. I love how the yanks acted like this and the Europeans just casually walked into their territory and thrashed them 😅😅😅
    They’re the absolute laughing stock of the world

  3. I am not a golf fan but I always thought golf was played with a good spirit and etiquette. This was moronic, is this American Exceptionalism I action?
    🤔🤔

  4. You Americans are such a good reflection of your president, it’s incredible. What a disgrace of a country

  5. When a country elects a man like Donald Trump it's a sure sign that they're embracing their position as the trailer park trash of the world.

  6. Rory, I am sorry for the way New York fans treated you and your family. Please do not judge the rest of our Country by the way those fans behaved. Where I live we enjoy good friendly competition that is respectful. No one should be treated the way you were treated. I am disappointed no one admonished the fans for their disrespectful behavior. Just a golf fan here, that appreciates the high caliber competition.

  7. These fans have taken it too far, there’s no room in sports for this nonsense.
    It takes away from the game, what a shameful crowd!

  8. I see this in all sports more and more and it's making my favorite pass time become unbearable to watch listen and hear it's so sad

  9. you'd think when someone posts a video that you can pause and watch people would notice not only was the beer not thrown by the guy, it was knocked out of his hand, and it didn't even touch her. the guy who hit it wasn't looking at her. literally a dumb accident.

  10. FIFA and IOC take note and cancel NOW!!!! If you don't, then I call upon ALL countries involved to boycott both events….. the U.S. does not deserve ANY world events….. they don't know how to behave!!!!

    Handled with ABSOLUTE class Rory, Erica, and the whole European team……

  11. I feel like there should be some emphasis on the fact that they're in the northeast. They're dealing with mostly New Yorkers and New Englanders. That's the worst of the lot right there.

  12. In the three different country annual bicycle tours, if a fan does something like that, they are arrested. A year or two ago, a young woman turned her back on the charging peleton in order to get her sign on viewed by the motorbike cameras. She was saying hello to her grandmother. The sign caused a rider at the front of the group to lose control and took down 40 riders in the mass crash. 2 riders could not continue the next day. After being in hiding for several days, she turned herself in, went to court, was convicted, paid a $1200 fine and a suspended sentence.

    Has the obvious culprit on the video been arrested yet?

  13. Ya the US leader and chief can be thanked for taking dignity , honour and respect out of the men of America . The Trumpet has encouraged our young men to be buffoons at the minimum and unfortunately allow the darkest side out of our fellow man to be normalised.

    America wake up quickly or the reality of what trump and his power hungry mob are trying to achieve will be your battle ground for years to come.

    Please unite against this Con man …

  14. The people who didn’t support the United States team in the Ryder cup and instead of helping them win, acted so disrespectfully to the European team, especially Rory. Those people, should not be allowed to buy tickets for the Ryder cup again. If I was in charge of the PGA of America, I would never have the Ryder cup at a golf course in New York again. Especially not Bethpage black. The course is great and historic. The horrible behavior of throwing a bottle at the wife of a golfer on the European team is completely shameful. 😢😢😢
