Rory’s demons must be embraced after family

PRIVATE jets carrying Pádraig Harrington and Rory McIlroy passed over the skies of the Middle East yesterday.

Harrington was on his way to China where he was planning a holiday with his family while also taking in the Volvo Open in Chungdu.

McIlroy was heading home to Holywood, Co Down, for a few well-earned days of rest after a couple of weeks in the United States and Malaysia that will live in his memory.
