Earlier reports suggested LaGava had approached the European team to apologize for his antics, but Mcllroy has denied those claims.
The 68-year-old caddie took off his cap and waved it in the air when Cantlay made a decisive putt on 18 in the crucial last four-ball match, which infuriated the Irishman.
“I let it fuel me. I didn’t let it take away from what’s been a fantastic week and I used that little incident to my advantage.” Mcllroy said.
“It was a bit of a deflating finish last night but I think what transpired on that last green, it all gave us a fire in our bellies to go out and try and get the job done today.”
