McIlroy described the abuse as “unacceptable” and said it should be “off-limits”. <\/p>\n
Sprague says he plans on apologising to McIlroy and his family.<\/p>\n
“I haven’t spoken to Rory or Erica [McIlroy] but I do plan on sending them an email with my heartfelt apologies because of what occurred,” he said. <\/p>\n
McIlroy suffered lengthy abuse before eventually snapping by swearing at a spectator that called out while he was addressing the ball. <\/p>\n
“I chirped back 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. <\/p>\n
“It was a rough week for all of us. But at the same time, we shut them up by our performance.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"McIlroy described the abuse as “unacceptable” and said it should be “off-limits”.
