Disgraceful carry on. No doubt the golf apologists will be on soon to circle the wagons

On sky now for the post mortem.
Seems to be in a dark place.

If anyone can turn it around it’s Rors
He’ll probably end up making the cut yet
He’s good at turning things around. Marriage proposals, nationality commitments, management contracts etc. But he has a brittle sports temperament so I doubt it.

Rory McIlroy talks to BBC Radio 5 Live after shooting an eight-over-par 79:
"I would like to punch myself. I made a couple of stupid mistakes. I was pretty nervous on the first tee and hit a bad shot. I showed some resilience in the middle of the round and was trying to fight back into the championship but then I finished off poorly as well.
"But seven over par combined on the first and last holes makes it very hard for you.
"I hit my first shot out of bounds yesterday but it went right so that might have been in my head a little bit. I turned the ball over a little too much. It was a poor tee shot but not that bad it deserved to go out of bounds.
"If I look back I undid all my good work to recover on the last three holes.
"At the end of the day I play golf to fulfill my ambitions not anyone else’s but I wish I could have given the crowd something to cheer about.
“I let myself down more than anyone else and need to pick myself back up.”
He turned down the Irish Open to be mentally primed for this tournament … i’m sure we’ll see the advantages of this over the next few days when he breaks the course record a couple of times
Shrewd move by Nike getting him to ditch their logo
Him and his likes are best kept away from the Irish open. It’s a sacred tournament
Might be time for him to ditch the entourage. He was probably out playing soccer with his mates this morning.
Golfers are hilarious sometimes. Turning down this tournament and that tournament. Get out and hit your fucking ball around a field.

Very disappointing for Rory and the Irish golfing community.
The Irish golfing community are a bunch of wankers.

Sounded like a disappointing day for the Italian golfing community as well. The reigning champion will almost certainly be relinquishing his crown.
