I guess Rory McIlroy called the Ryder Cup merely and "exhibition".

I recall David Duval said the same thing pre-1999 Ryder Cup and ate his words in a big way afterwards,. He took his lumps like a man though and admitted he was wrong. Wonder if Rory will do the same. As of right now he is standing by his words.

Any thoughts?

The ryder cup is the greatest golf event period. There is more presure IMO than a major. They truely show how great they are by performing under that pressure. Do you remember Sunday at the K club. It was unreal how many great shots there was. Obviously I was disappointed but it was the greatest desplay of golf my cloudy mind can remember.

But regardless I like Rory alot.

Worth noting that Rory has been misquoted, he said the Ryder Cup was more of an exhibition match for the fans than Majors were.

Why is it everyone says they were "misquoted"?

Quite frankly, who gives a damn? Believe it not, and brace yourselves on this one, people have their own opinions about things.

Woods has always played the Ryder Cup down over the years - there's no reason why McIlroy can't do the same.
If majors are the thing he wants most, then that's the way it is...

True but, and brace yourself on this one, that's what these discussion boards are for - different opinions.

because Mcilroy saying the Ryder Cup is an exhibition is a much more interesting story than Rory saying the Ryder Cup is an exhibition for the fans

I'd like to see him beat in Sunday Singles by an American player who hits every fairway, every green, and leaves a tap-in on the few putts he misses. After the match, he can tell Rory that that was an exhibition.

Seems golfers named Rory say fun things to the press. But they aren't alone.
