Aint that the truth.  Our Canadian Open needs a better date on the PGA Tour Schedule!

Rors is now +6.  Just made a triple.  Looks like another missed cut.  I think his frolocking around the world with Ms. Wozniacki is more the culprit that his sticks.

I was at Hamilton last year and will be at Glen Abbey this year.  Let's keep in touch.

Rors just made another bogey on #17.  That's a triple, bogey two hole stretch and is now at +7 and on pace to shoot 42.  Can you say wake up call?

They put Rory on the swing tracker yesterday and compared his current swing to the one he had at Congressional when he won the U.S. Open. Not sure if it was just one single poor swing, which is plausible, but there was a noticeable, albeit easily correctable, difference. The current swing was slightly past parallel, plus he stood up slightly before impact.

Watch him come out next week and shoot a low score to make this post look silly. Ha.

I saw that too which goes back to my original point.  He's been more busy with his GF the last 3 months than focusing on golf.  I don't buy the equipment excuse. When you are the best in the world, you HAVE to keep working hard.  That's one thing with Tiger.  Tiger always worked his arse off.  That said, this is good for Rory...like I said, wake up call.

It's round #5 for him this year.  He'll be good to go by the time the Masters rolls around.  (He just ripped one onto the fairway on #18.  Gotta love Shot Tracker).

McIlroy has withdrawn. Playing bad so he just quit. Not good.

Wow. Time to pull up your socks Rory.

Really?  There isn't any indication of an injury?  The boys a GC are going to be all over this.

Walked right off the course from 18 (his 9th) to his car. Not a word to anybody.

On No. 18 – his ninth hole of the day – McIlroy hit an approach shot just short of the greenside bunker, then picked up his ball, shook hands with playing partners Mark Wilson and Ernie Els, then quickly left the premises.

Wonder if he'll get a fine?

I also wonder why my text is highlighted with grey...

Wow!    He gone!       Anybody want to buy those Nike clubs now?!    Maybe he ran out of golf balls???  

Nike's next commercial can be Rory sneaking covertly off the golf course.

At least he gets to play all 4 rounds next week at Doral - there's no cut there.

Well. he was guaranteed at least 36 at the Honda and he didn't make that.
