McIlroy not for turning on Woods comments

EXPERIENCE comes with age and so, at 21, Rory McIlroy can be excused his odd slip of the tongue.

However, he was still made to account last night for a few less than complimentary remarks he passed about Tiger Woods a few weeks ago and his description last year of the Ryder Cup as something of an “exhibition.”

In fairness to the young man, he handles himself expertly in what for others could be a distinctly embarrassing situation.
