RORY McILROY reckons the Ryder Cup will be shelved this year – because players do not want a bun fight without fans there to see it.
The world No.1 is to lead Europe’s defence of the trophy at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin in September.

McIlroy is not interested in scrapping with the Yanks without galleries and believes it is only a matter of time before the call is made to delay until 2021.
