Respectfully we had the opposite experience with him. Left my son crushed. I'm glad they had a good experience with him though.
I have always been a fan of Rory. I hoping what he did was just out of character. We were patiently waiting in line for two and a half hours for him to finish his round and sign autographs for our sons. My 9-year-old follow him around the course the whole day chanting Rory. Allot of the players came though and signed all the kids balls while we were waiting on Rory. Huge shout out to Xander schauffele. He spent a good 7-8 minutes talking to my son and discussing his golf game with him. Then asked if we wanted to take a picture with him. Such a great experience with Xander he gained some fans yesterday. Rory and Lowry finish their round and start signing autographs. Lowry signs everybody, Rory gets 2 people from us, which were also kids, and just walks off, no sorry guys I gotta go or anything. Was extremely rude and unprofessional the was he handled it. Left my kids in tears. He looked right at us and walked off. I couldn't believe it.
It was so bad one of the guys working for the PGA ran in club house and got some PGA players pins, came across the barricades and brought them out for my 3 boys. That man gave my son and hug and apologized, told him I got these really cool pins for you so sorry that happened.
Just extremely disappointed in Rory at this moment. I'm glad y'all had a good experience with him. I wish we could say the same
Unfortunately my kid will remember that the rest of his life as well. Bummer

Ouch. Yea kind of polar opposite of the OP. Good for Xander, got him some new fans. 7-8 minutes is a legit long time for a pro to be standing around talking to one kid

Do you know how many autographs he does sign? Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of every event he plays at.
I know it’s our one and only time to see him, but guys like Rory and many of the other top pros can’t possibly sign an autograph for every kid that wants one. It’s just not reality.
But props to some of those guys that go above and beyond (your Xander story and I have seen similar from Rickie Fowler). They are truly remarkable.
