I think that's his way of saying, everyone. Just chill. M'okay? :-)

I really want to see him play the PGA but only if he is healthy.  Not worth risking further setbacks for one tournament.

Was watching the 2010 PGA Championship last night. I don't think anyone's changed more in the last 5 years than Rory. Looks like a totally different person. Then you have Zach Johnson who doesn't look like he's aged a day. Zach looks exactly the same now as he did then.

Yeah, Rory has really changed a lot. More muscular, thinner face, shorter hair. Looks like an athlete now.

McIlroy posts photos of his ankle:


Here's another speculation piece from yesterday, post workout video release, for what it's worth. Nothing new, other than some Euro-centric tour tidbits.

No chance if his ankle is still that swollen 5 weeks after the injury.

Pretty much. I sprained my ankle, heard three pops but no ruptures, and my ankle swelling was down after a few days.

If the reports are true on the rupture I am kinda shocked he hasn't had surgery on it.

Those images were taken the days after his injury and are not recent.

Oh, I saw the "3 Hours Ago" tag so thought they were recent.

The swelling looks like it's pretty much gone in the 3.5 weeks photo, but it would have been better to take a photo from the same angle as in the original 4.5 weeks photo, to compare apples to apples.

He looks like ready for call from green.

Is he coming to next tour?

He posted same thing on FB too.

I was thinking the same thing, I think his forearms are larger than his calves.  He might need to work on his legs a bit more to give his ankle some muscle and strength to support that upper body.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
