McIlroy described the abuse as “unacceptable” and mentioned it must be “off-limits”.
Sprague says he plans on apologising to McIlroy and his household.
“I have never spoken to Rory or Erica [McIlroy] however I do plan on sending them an e-mail with my heartfelt apologies due to what occurred,” he mentioned.
McIlroy suffered prolonged abuse earlier than ultimately snapping by swearing at a spectator that referred to as out whereas he was addressing the ball.
“I chirped again as a result of it received to me just a few occasions, however we tried to deal with every thing that got here our means with class and poise, and for essentially the most half, I felt like we did that,” mentioned McIlroy.
“It was a tough week for all of us. However on the similar time, we shut them up by our efficiency.”
