I woke up this morning, and I felt like Thursday came around pretty quickly this week. It's been a tough few days. You know, I felt like I played a lot of good golf last week and got really nothing out of it.
Rory McIlroy strode out from the gloaming on to Augusta's first tee yesterday morning. By the time we all settled down for our southern-style grits, the place was baked in warm Georgia April sun.
Holywood Golf Club, overlooking Belfast Lough, is where Rory McIlroy took flight in his golf career. The club's history and significance in Northern Ireland are profound, connecting families and generations through the game.
I'll see how my body feels, said the world No 2. We'll see how I feel in practice and at home and if I get itchy feet at home maybe add an event at some point. It was important to make the weekend here and play an extra couple of days.
While warming up in the gym this morning, I felt a small twinge in my back. As I started hitting balls on the range before the round, it worsened and developed into muscle spasms in my lower back. Unfortunately, I'm not able to continue and have to withdraw. I was excited to compete this weekend.
