Half marks to Rory for the honesty, but in all honesty he had little choice but to release that statement. There's two things you don't do in golf. Cheat, or quit. Atrociously bad judgement, his entire approach this year has been poor. Not enough competitive rounds coming into the season either. I actually wonder if he made his first mistake by leaving chubby chandłer.

Ill be very surprised (although delighted) to see him do anything at Augusta in a months time.

Criticism from Jack Nicklaus . . . I can think of few people who have greater stature in their sport than the Golden Bear. That would have stung and I think the apology reflects it.

Declan

I actually think these lapses make McIlroy an even more fascinating sportsperson. More human so to speak than the automaton that was Tiger

It is the Nike curse. First Tiger, then Armstrong, now Rory.

I remember Ronan Rafferty walking off at the Masters. He said he was going for a pee, and never came back. Shit happens.

I suppose there's an argument there alright Declan, but it should be noted that if he hadn't already won 2 majors, and was world number 1, but rather he was a 23 year old still busting his hump to make it - he certainly wouldn't have walked off. I think it shows a lack of class and consideration to his partners, his sponsors, the tournament and the fans that by all accounts wasn't what he was brought up with.

That Santander advert with Mcilroy is pretty poor.

Agree with that!

I think he was lying through his ( Ahem) teeth!

If he was feeling that bad he would have been popping disprin a handful at a time, oh and they have this gel that you rub on your tooth that kills the pain immediately for a while!
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.
