McIlroy shuns media as course bites hard and late

A SHELL-SHOCKED Rory McIlroy refused to speak to waiting reporters after suffering golfing disaster of the most shattering kind at Augusta National last night.

Four under for the tournament after a magnificent eagle at the 13th followed by a birdie at the 15th, he looked set for a big week-end at the 73rd Masters.

However, it was as if the great golf course was waiting in the long grass to teach the young upstart not to underestimate its many wiles and intricacies.
