‘Didn’t Seem Too Happy’: Awkward Moment Between Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth Captures Golf World’s Attention
Post-round and pre-round interviews are a very notable tradition of golf tournaments. This is where golfers discuss various aspects of the game and share their opinions about various things happening both on and off the course. While there is a specific schedule that is followed for each golfer, sometimes things take an unusual turn! And the golf world witnessed that with an awkward moment between Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth at the Memorial Tournament.
On the PGA Tour this week, the two rivals clashed off the course during the interview. This led to a viral incident that left the golf world with plenty of opinions to go around!
Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth’s mix-up
Speith and McIlroy might not be the best of buddies, but the two have been playing on the PGA Tour for a very long time. Being compassionate golfers, the two have played with each other many times on the course. But this time things were different; they clashed off the course soon after the second round of the Memorial this week!
Post-round, Spieth was in the conference room answering questions when the Irish golfer almost crashed his interview. Outside, Rory McIlroy was talking to someone and laughing when he came into the room. But the moment he noticed that the room was not empty, he leaned backward, trying to balance himself, clapped his hands, and had an awkward expression on his face for the blunder he almost made.
