Rory McIlroy fired back at a spectator from the crowd during the final round of the Genesis Invitational. This occurred after the spectator made an unpleasant comment about his caddie and friend, Harry Diamond.

On Sunday, February 16, McIlroy carded an even-par 72, finishing at 3-under at the Genesis Invitational. He picked up two birdies to tie for 17th, nine strokes behind the winner, Ludvig Aberg.

During the final day’s action at Torrey Pines, a fan made a crass comment toward McIlroy’s caddie, Harry Diamond. In response, the Northern Irishman told him to “shut the f*** up.

Fans had mixed reactions to Rory McIlroy’s comments. While many praised him for taking a stand, some were critical of the golfer.

Here’s a look at some reactions:

“You tell them Rory,” one fan wrote.

“Love this. Gotta defend your guys🔥,” another fan posted.

“Dude is NOT ready for the words coming at him at bethpage 🤣,” another fan commented.

“Seems like that was directed at thin-skinned Rory. He sure wants to run his mouth when he thinks he has the bully pulpit. Another weight-room tough guy pillow fighter,” this fan opined.

“If Rory is being honest when he talks about not reading the greens well, it’s even more ridiculous that he doesn’t hire a top caddy. The guy is already a very poor putter, why is he ignoring the opportunity to improve his chances of a major,” another user remarked.

“When was the last time Rory won a major w/ Diamond on the bag?” one fan posted.
