Rory McIlroy has finally broken his silence nearly a month on from missing the cut at this year's Masters Tournament at Augusta National.
Heading into the opening major championship of the year McIlroy was a well-backed favourite, but two disappointing rounds around the iconic Georgia course saw him miss the 36-hole cut. A week on from his Masters disappointment, the Northern Irishman's withdrawal from the RBC Heritage was announced.
This decision proved to be a controversial one, with McIlroy seemingly breaking PGA Tour rules that stipulate players are only able to pull out of one elevated event a year, a threshold he had already past earlier in the season.
