As we’ve learned over the past couple years, there doesn’t appear to be any love lost between Rory McIlroy and Patrick Cantlay. Now we know McIlroy doesn’t love Cantlay’s pre-shot routine, either.<\/p>\n

Of course, these two PGA Tour stars were central figures during “Hatgate”<\/a> at the 2023 Ryder Cup. In a subsequent interview with the Irish Independent, the five-time major champ admitted his relationship with the American is “average at best,” and he referred to him as a “d*ck<\/a>.” Ouch.<\/p>\n

The two were also both part of the PGA Tour’s policy board before McIlroy resigned in 2023. And now a fan video has emerged from last year’s Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black that won’t bring them any closer together.<\/p>\n

While McIlroy is known for playing quickly, Cantlay has a reputation for being more, um, deliberate on the course. This really shows itself with his patented pre-shot shuffle. And in the clip from the crowd, you can see McIlroy mocking that move. Have a look:<\/p>\n

As you can hear, people in the crowd seemed to enjoy Rory’s rendition. Again, he’s not alone in thinking Patty Ice could pick up the pace. You just don’t usually see a fellow tour pro poke fun of someone like that.<\/p>\n

Anyway, how long is it until the next Ryder Cup? And let’s please make sure to get these two in the same pairing again in Ireland.<\/p>\n
