The Holywood man had to be restrained by Shane Lowry as tempers boiled over on Saturday
Rory McIlroy was greeted with chants of 'Rory, Rory, Rory' to the tune of Cranberries hit 'Zombie' as he began his Ryder Cup round on Sunday.
However, when McIlroy began his round on Sunday fans could be heard loudly chanting his name to the tune of 'Zombie' as the Europeans backed one of their star players. McIlroy thought LaCava had stepped across his line as he celebrated by waving his cap in jocular reference to Cantlay’s hatless appearance.
Donald said: “Obviously I was on 18 and I saw it unfold. When Patrick made that putt, Joe was waving his hat – there was some hat-waving going on throughout the day from the crowd, not our players. After the match but prior to the car park incident, McIlroy said the matter would merely add motivation to his desire to succeed on Sunday.
Donald was not aware of what later happened in the car park when he spoke to media after a day which his European side ended lead 10.5-5.5.
