‘Fared Ridiculously’: Days After His Miserable Performance, Rory McIlroy Receives a Humbling Lesson From a Veteran LIV Golf Defector
Rory McIlroy is the Player Director on the PGA Tour Board, a role he earned in no small part by being one of the best golfers on the American circuit. However, his long drought of missing titles at Major Tournaments since his Open Championship win in 2014 has become a topic of debate in the golfing community.
The Irishman came up short once again at the Open Championship in Hoylake last week. Although the golfing cosmos is abuzz with him being past his prime, one experienced golfer has a different opinion.
Lee Westwood shares his opinion about Rory McIlroy’s gameplay
After the final round at Hoylake, golf commentator and former pro golfer Brandel Chamblee said about McIlroy, “I know you think he’s ripped and he is ripped, but you reach your physical prime at 26, 27 years old.” There was a considerable backlash from the Irish golfer’s fans about the comment; admirers believe that the Former World No. 1 is still very much in form.
If the Northern Irishman had any doubts about his abilities to earn a major title since his long-standing drought, LIV Golfer Lee Westwood has a different opinion much like McIlroy’s fans. He said to the Telegraph, “I honestly have a feeling that he will win the Masters in April and I’m not sure I’ve felt that way before.” GolfMagic shared his wise words on their Twitter handle. This should be a humbling experience for McIlroy since Westwood comes from a rival faction. Despite the merger, there is still some bad blood left.
