"From a technical perspective, his wedges suck. They're terrible. I'm so over him. He needs to take a year off - a gap year, a sabbatical - whatever. Gavin Moynihan was on Twitter, earlier, say he couldn't believe all the stick Rory was taking. No. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. "Rory has made $500 or $600 million dollars playing golf, at this point... and it's like, 'Hey man, you know what? This is part of the territory and this is what comes with it. You're right in your prime and you're acting like a little bitch!'."Carter has professed to be a fan of McIlroy in the past, but has lost faith over recent years as the Holywood native struggled in majors and has been inconsistent in other big tournaments.

From the Team Europe side, Sergio Garcia [3 wins from 3 matches] was much more considerate to McIlroy.
Asked what he was saying to pick up McIlroy's spirits ahead of the final day, the Spaniard revealed:
"I told him the absolute truth. I told him that not only me but the whole team is proud of him no matter if he goes 5-0 or 0-5; that we love him and that we are always proud of the effort that he makes and the heart that he puts into his golf and into the team. It's as simple as that. "Obviously it's not the week he was hoping for, without a doubt, not the week we were hoping for, for all of us, at least till now or until now. But we are still very proud of every single one of our teammates."McIlroy will not have it easy against Schauffele in the singles. Even if he does pull out a victory, Europe will need everything to go their way, and several players to step up, if they even stand a chance of pushing Team USA close.
