What do you get for shooting 60 in a pro-am? Just ask Rory McIlroy. “Nothing,” said the Masters champion. “Besides a social media post I didn’t want.” McIlroy was laughing but the underlying sentiment was obvious: exceptional rounds are best saved for the real stuff.
News that McIlroy had taken only 60 shots around Wentworth’s West Course while in the company of celebrities was a hot topic of conversation going in to this PGA Championship. McIlroy shrugged off the score as something he produces fairly regularly. “It doesn’t mean anything,” he added. “My playing partners were happy, they won something.”
