VERY RUDE

Heckling headset primes Rory for Bethpage abuse

- by NEIL McLEMAN

RORY MCILROY revealed the European team have been given virtual reality headsets with personalised abuse to prepare for the rowdy American fans at the Ryder Cup.

Luke Donald took his team on a charter flight to New York last night after the BMW PGA at Wentworth, for a two-day training camp at Bethpage Black.

But the European skipper has already started preparations to handle the atmosphere with President Donald Trump scheduled to attend on the opening day by handing his 12 men the VR sets at a team dinner on Tuesday.

And Masters champion McIlroy laughed that the players can choose their own level of abuse and added: "You can go as close to the bone as you like!"
