McIlroy still well ahead of the cut as he turns 25
That was the question facing those close to Rory McIlroy, including fiancée Caroline Wozniacki, plus good friends Mitchell Tweedie and Ricky McCormick along with his long-time caddy JP Fitzgerald and manager Sean O’Flaherty, who celebrated his birthday into the wee hours of yesterday morning.
Golf fans sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to McIlroy at virtually every turn of the Quail Hollow course on Sunday, but in the immediate minutes after his round McIlroy was clearly in no mood to blow out any birthday candles after recording his seventh top-10 in 10 events this year.
