# Golf: Rory McIlroy has revealed he received a personal apology from the CEO of the PGA of America, Derek Sprague, over the abuse European Ryder Cup players and their families endured in New York in September. The team, and in particular the Northern Irishman and his wife, Erica, were targeted by the partisan crowd across the three days. He says he got a lovely e-mail message from Sprague which he appreciates very much. American captain Keegan Bradley had earlier refused to condemn the home fans.
