There was a rather spiteful tussle that went down today at the Ryder Cup. While Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry made for a formidable duo, they encountered a rough patch when it came to Patrick Cantlay’s caddie.
Caddying for Patrick Cantlay was Tiger Woods’ ex-caddie of 13 years, Joe LaCava. Legado got into a heated exchange with Rory and Shane when Patrick Cantlay sank an important putt.
The incident has taken the golfing community by storm and has started going viral on X. Nuclear Golf page posted a tweet saying, “JOE LACAVA WAS GETTING INTO IT ON 18, Rory and Lowry both annoyed by the hat-off from the legendary caddie.”

Lowry has been basically doing cartwheels in the fairway all week. If you can dish it, you can take it. Tool bag.
