The last thing Rory McIlroy and the European team needs right now is extra motivation. They lead 8-4 following another dominant session this morning, and they are showing no signs of slowing down this afternoon. Imagine what would happen if Rory got angry? You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

Unfortunately for American fans hoping for a comeback, one idiotic fan did indeed make Rory angry. At the par-5 third, needing to drain a birdie putt just to halve the hole, McIlroy buried it in the fan's face, keeping a 2 up lead for he and Ian Poulter over Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas in the process. After the putt dropped, Rory turned to a fan and loudly asked said fan a question:

“I can't putt?!” screamed McIlroy, adding “F-ING come on!” LANGUAGE!!!

Ryder Cup 2018: Phil Mickelson’s belly is Team USA’s new good-luck charm, and we’re not sure what to make of it
Things are getting out of hand in France for the American Ryder Cup team. The Europeans continued their dominance in Saturday's fourballs session, taking three of the first four matches—making it seven straight points for Europe.
Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth prevented a second straight sweep by the Europeans by winning the final match of the morning, and it appears things have gotten so desperate for Team USA, we're now rubbing bellys. Phil Mickelson is sitting out both Saturday sessions, so he's putting himself to use by being a human Buddha. He was spotted not only walking with the groups Saturday morning, but Phil also let his stomach be used as a good-luck charm by Spieth and Thomas. Hey, that's a team player right there!

Hey, you gotta put all those Krispy Kremes and In-N-Out burgers to use somehow, right?
This might be genius, actually. Thomas and Spieth got their point, so it's working apparen..
Ryder Cup 2018: Edoardo Molinari pokes fun at Patrick Reed during match against his brother
Patrick Reed trending on Twitter during a Ryder Cup is nothing new, but this time, it was for all the wrong reasons. As Reed hit a series of poor shots — several in the water — and even unleashed some very audible NSFW reactions (Good thing it's the weekend, huh?), people pounded their keyboards with negative tweets about Captain America. But the roughest one may have come from an unlikely source: His opponent's brother.

And no, this isn't another Danny Willett-P.J. Willett situation. Edoardo Molinari may be Francesco Molinari's brother, but he's a world-class player himself. The elder Molinari was a Ryder Cup teammate of Francesco's at the 2010 Ryder Cup and he won the 2005 U.S. Amateur. On Saturday morning, though, as Francesco and Tommy Fleetwood took a commanding lead over Reed and Tiger Woods in a four-ball match, Edoardo took dead aim at the struggling U.S. star.
