CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Masters celebration didn’t last long, nor was it very public. Rory McIlroy headed to London with his family to check on a new home. He then went to Northern Ireland to visit with his parents and close friends, nary a photo or social media post to be found.
He returned to the United States for a previously planned outing, headed to New Orleans for the Zurich Classic where he teamed with partner and friend Shane Lowry and then it was back home to Florida, where McIlroy might have been excused if he either collapsed from exhaustion or celebrated for weeks.
